Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control

so PFC is enabled on these ports with 802.1p priority 5 traffic as no-drop. The

configuration also enables VLAN tagging so that the 802.1p priority is

identified. This example assumes the voice VLAN (VLAN 100) has already

been configured.

1 Map 802.1p priority 5 to traffic class 4. For more information about traffic

classes, see "Configuring Class-of-Service" on page 1127.

console#configure

console(config)#classofservice dot1p-mapping 5 4

2 Enter Interface Configuration mode for ports 3, 5, and 10, and then enter

Data Center Bridging mode for these ports.

console(config)#interface range

te1/0/3,te1/0/5,te1/0/10

console(config-if)#datacenter-bridging

3 Enable PFC and configure traffic marked with 802.1p priority 5 to be

paused rather than dropped when congestion occurs.

console(config-dcb)#priority-flow-control mode on

console(config-dcb)#priority-flow-control

priority 5 no-drop

console(config-dcb)#exit

4 Enable VLAN tagging on the ports so the 802.1p priority is identified.

console(config-if)#switchport mode general

console(config-if)#switchport general allowed vlan

add 100 tagged

console(config-if)#exit

CAUTION:

All ports may be briefly shutdown when modifying either flow control

(FC) or PFC settings. PFC uses a control packet defined in 802.1Qbb and is not
compatible with 802.3x FC.
