Restriction: You can enable PFC on a

maximum of two priority queues.

Repeat this step to configure PFC and ETS

traffic handling for each priority group, for

example: priority-group 0 bandwidth
60 pfc off priority-group 1

bandwidth 20 pfc onpriority-group 2
bandwidth 20 pfc on priority-group 4

strict-priority pfc off

3

Specify the priority group ID number to handle

VLAN traffic for each dot1p class-of-service: 0

through 7. Leave a space between each

priority group number. For example,
priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 2 4 4 4 where

dot1p priorities 0, 1, and 2 are mapped to

priority group 0; dot1p priority 3 is mapped to

priority group 1; dot1p priority 4 is mapped to

priority group 2; dot1p priorities 5, 6, and 7 are

mapped to priority group 4.

All priorities that map to the same egress

queue must be in the same priority group.

priority-pgid
dot1p0_group_num
dot1p1_group_num
dot1p2_group_num
dot1p3_group_num
dot1p4_group_num
dot1p5_group_num
dot1p6_group_num
dot1p7_group_num

DCB MAP

Important Points to Remember

• If you remove a dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping from a DCB map (no priority pgid

command), the PFC and ETS parameters revert to their default values on the interfaces on which the

DCB map is applied. By default, PFC is not applied on specific 802.1p priorities; ETS assigns equal

bandwidth to each 802.1p priority.
As a result, PFC and lossless port queues are disabled on 802.1p priorities, and all priorities are
mapped to the same priority queue and equally share port bandwidth.

• To change the ETS bandwidth allocation configured for a priority group in a DCB map, do not modify

the existing DCB map configuration. Instead, create a new DCB map with the desired PFC and ETS

settings, and apply the new map to the interfaces to override the previous DCB map settings. Then,

delete the original dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping.

• If you delete the dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping (no priority pgid command) before

you apply the new DCB map, the default PFC and ETS parameters are applied on the interfaces. This

change may create a DCB mismatch with peer DCB devices and interrupt the network operation.

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.
