d. At the prompt, enter the percent value of bandwidth you want
committed to the selected function.
e. Enter the percent value of bandwidth you want to limit the selected
function to.
NOTE
When bandwidth settings exist for both Switch Independent Partitioning and
DCBX , DCBX takes precedence over Switch Independent Partitioning.
DCBX sets the bandwidth for iSCSI and NIC traffic, and then Switch
Independent Partitioning sets the bandwidth for the NIC partitions by dividing
the NIC bandwidth allocated by DCBX. For more information, see
“Interoperation of Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and Switch Independent
Partitioning” on page 120.
