6. Apply an FCoE map on server-facing Ethernet ports.
7. Apply an FCoE Map on fabric-facing FC ports.
Enabling Fibre Channel Capability on the Switch
You must first enable an IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module that you want to configure as
an NPG for the FC protocol.
Task Command Command Mode
Enable an IOA and MXL switch
with the FC Flex IO module for
the FC protocol.

CONFIGURATION
Creating a DCB Map
Configure the priority-based flow control (PFC) and enhanced traffic selection (ETS) settings in a DCB
map before you can apply them on downstream server-facing ports.
Task
Command Command Mode
Create a DCB map to specify the
PFC and ETS settings for groups
of dot1p priorities.
dcb-map name
CONFIGURATION
Configure the PFC setting (on or
off) and the ETS bandwidth
percentage allocated to traffic in
each priority group or whether
priority group traffic should be
handled with strict priority
scheduling.
priority-group group_num
{bandwidth percentage |
strict-priority} pfc {on
| off}
DCB MAP
Specify the priority group ID
number to handle VLAN traffic
for each dot1p class-of-service:
0 through 7. Leave a space
between each priority group
number.

dot1p1_group-num

dot1p3_group-num

dot1p7_group-num
DCB MAP
Important Points to Remember
• If you remove a dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping from a DCB map (the no priority pgid
command), the PFC and ETS parameters revert to their default values on the interfaces on which the
DCB map is applied. By default, PFC is not applied on specific 802.1p priorities; ETS assigns equal
bandwidth to each 802.1p priority.
• To change the ETS bandwidth allocation configured for a priority group in a DCB map, do not modify
the existing DCB map configuration. Instead, first create a new DCB map with the desired PFC and
ETS settings and apply the new map to the interfaces to override the previous DCB map settings. Then
delete the original dot1p priority-priority group mapping.
