PFC and ETS Configuration Command Examples
The following examples show PFC and ETS configuration commands to manage your data center traffic.
Example of Configuring QoS Priority-Queue Assignment to Honor Dot1p Priorities
Dell(conf)# service-class dynamic dot1p
Using PFC and ETS to Manage Converged Ethernet Traffic in a Switch Stack
The following example shows how to apply the DCB PFC input policy (ipc_san_lan) and ETS output policy (ets) on all FN
IOM switches in a switch stack.
This example references the PFC and ETS Configuration Examples section.
Example of Applying DCB PFC Input Policy and ETS Output Policy in a Switch Stack
dcb-map stack-unit all stack-ports all <dcb-map-name>
Interworking of DCB Map With DCB Buffer Threshold Settings
The dcb-input and dcb-output configuration commands are deprecated. You must use the dcp-map command to create
a DCB map to configure priority flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) on Ethernet ports that support
converged Ethernet traffic.
Configure the dcb-buffer-threshold command and its related parameters only on ports with either auto configuration or
dcb-map configuration. This command is not supported on existing front-panel interfaces or stack ports that are configured
with the dcb-input or dcb-output commands. Similarly, if the dcb-buffer-threshold configuration is present on a stack port
or any interface, the dcb-input or dcb-ouput policies cannot be applied on those interfaces.
Example: When the dcb-buffer-threshold policy is applied on interfaces or stack ports with the dcb-input or dcb-output policies,
the following error message is displayed:
%Error: dcb-buffer-threshold not supported on interfaces with deprecated commands
