Reference Guide

• PFC still allows you to configure lossless queues on a port to ensure no-drop
handling of lossless traffic.
When you apply an input policy to an interface, an error message is displayed if:
• The PFC dot1p priorities result in more than two lossless port queues globally
on the switch.
• You already enabled link-level flow control. PFC and link-level flow control
cannot be enabled at the same time on an interface.
In a switch stack, configure all stacked ports with the same PFC configuration.
A DCB input policy for PFC applied to an interface may become invalid if you
reconfigure the dot1p-queue mapping. This situation occurs when the new dot1p-
queue assignment exceeds the maximum number (2) of lossless queues supported
globally on the switch. In this case, all PFC configurations received from PFC-
enabled peers are removed and resynchronized with the peer devices.
Traffic may be interrupted when you reconfigure PFC no-drop priorities in an input
policy or reapply the policy to an interface.

Commands
dcb-input — creates a DCB input policy.
dcb-policy input stack-unit stack-ports all
Apply the specified DCB input policy on all ports of the switch stack or a single stacked switch.
Syntax
dcb-policy input stack-unit {all | stack-unit-id} stack-ports
all dcb-input-policy-name
To remove all DCB input policies applied to the stacked ports and rest the PFC to
its default settings, use the no dcb-policy input stack-unit all command.
To remove only the DCB input policies applied to the specified switch, use the no
dcb-policy input stack-unit command.
Parameters
stack-unit-id Enter the stack unit identification.
dcb-input-
policy-name
Enter the policy name for the DCB input policy.
Defaults none

Information
The dcb-policy input stack-unit all command overwrites any previous
dcb-policy input stack-unit stack-unit-id configurations. Similarly, a
dcb-policy input stack-unit stack-unit-id command overwrites any
previous
dcb-policy input stack-unit all configuration.
