DCB configuration management
Depending on the platform, the DCB switch has one of the configurations shown in Table 69 .
You must configure DCB interfaces and ports differently than you configure Fibre Channel ports to
effectively use the converged network features.
For example, priority-based flow control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) are the
two QoS policy enhancements you must configure to create a lossless Ethernet. You then use DCBX
protocol on DCB-enabled devices to exchange configuration information.
The DCB ports of FOS DCB devices are categorized into two types:
• External ports - The eight external ports are the same as the original 10 Gbps Ethernet DCB
ports. The default name in the device tree is ExT <slot>/<port>.
• Internal ports - The default name for the 12 or 14 internal ports is InT <slot>/<port>.
802.1x, LAG configuration, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) are not supported on internal
ports.
