Setup Guide

Use the priority-pgid command to map 802.1p priorities to a priority group. You can assign each
802.1p priority to only one priority group. A priority group consists of 802.1p priority values that are
grouped together for similar bandwidth allocation and scheduling, and that share latency and loss
requirements. All 802.1p priorities mapped to the same queue must be in the same priority group.
Repeat the priority-group bandwidth pfc command to configure PFC and ETS traffic handling
for each priority group in a DCB map.
You can enable PFC on a maximum of two priority queues.
If you configure more than one priority group as strict priority, the higher numbered priority queue is given
preference when scheduling data traffic.
If a priority group does not use its allocated bandwidth, the unused bandwidth is made available to other
priority groups.
To remove a priority-group configuration in a DCB map, enter the no priority-group bandwidth
pfc command.
By default, equal bandwidth is assigned to each dot1p priority in a priority group. Use the bandwidth
parameter to configure the bandwidth percentage assigned to a priority group. The sum of the bandwidth
allocated to all priority groups in a DCB map must be 100% of the bandwidth on the link. You must
allocate at least 1% of the total port bandwidth to each priority group.
dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size
Configure the maximum amount of shared buffer size for PFC packets in kilobytes.

Usage
Information
Configure the maximum shared buffer available for PFC traffic. You can choose to increase or decrease
the shared buffer that is allocated in the system by default. Configure the shared buffer size less than
the total PFC buffer size. If the shared buffer size is more than the total PFC buffer size value, the
configuration is not saved and a system logging message is generated.
