The following section describes DCB.
The S4048–ON system supports loading two
DCB_Config
files:
FCoE_DCB_Config
and
iSCSI_DCB_Config
.
These files are located in the root directory flash:/CONFIG_TEMPLATE. After copying the configuration files to the startup config and
reloading the system.
The device supports the following DCB features:
•
Data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBx)
•
Priority-based flow control (PFC)
•
Enhanced transmission selection (ETS)
To configure PFC, ETS, and DCBx for DCB, refer to
for the CLI configurations.
