Applying a DCB map on server-facing Ethernet ports
You can apply a DCB map only on a physical Ethernet interface and can apply only one DCB map per
interface.
Creating an FCoE VLAN
Create a dedicated VLAN to send and receive Fibre Channel traffic over FCoE links between servers and a
fabric over an NPG. The NPG receives FCoE traffic and forwards de-capsulated FC frames over FC links
to SAN switches in a specified fabric.
When you apply an FCoE map to an Ethernet port (Applying an FCoE map on server-facing Ethernet
ports), the port is automatically configured as a tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
Step Task Command Command Mode
1 Enter interface configuration mode on a server-facing
port or port channel to apply a DCB map.
Note: You cannot apply a DCB map on a port channel.
However, you can apply a DCB map on the ports that
are members of the port channel.

CONFIGURATION
2 Apply the DCB map on an Ethernet port or port
channel. The port is configured with the PFC and ETS
settings in the DCB map; for example:
Dell# interface tengigabitEthernet 0/0
Dell(config-if-te-0/0)# dcb-map SAN_DCB1
Repeat this step to apply a DCB map to more than one
port or port channel.
