Version Description
9.6(0.0) Supported on the FN 2210S Aggregator.
9.3(0.0) Supported on the M I/O Aggregator.
9.3(0.0) Supported on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module platform.
Usage Information You can congure up to a maximum of four lossless (PFC) queues. By conguring four lossless queues, you
can congure four dierent priorities and assign a particular priority to each application that your network is
used to process. For example, you can assign a higher priority for time-sensitive applications and a lower
priority for other services, such as le transfers. You can congure the amount of buer space to be
allocated for each priority and the pause or resume thresholds for the buer. This method of conguration
enables you to eectively manage and administer the behavior of lossless queues.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-queues 4
dcb enable auto-detect on-next-reload
Enables or disables global DCB on a subsequent reload. This command also internally congures PFC buers based on DCB enable/

port wise DCB auto detect feature.
