transmit converged Ethernet traffic.

CONFIGURATION
2 Enable PFC on specified priorities. Range: 0-7.
Default: None.
Maximum number of lossless queues
supported on an Ethernet port: 2.
Separate priority values with a comma. Specify
a priority range with a dash, for example: pfc
priority 3,5-7

command on an interface on
which a DCB map has been applied or
which is already configured for lossless

INTERFACE
Configuring Lossless Queues
DCB also supports the manual configuration of lossless queues on an interface when PFC mode is disabled in
a DCB map, apply the map on the interface. The configuration of no-drop queues provides flexibility for ports
on which PFC is not needed, but lossless traffic should egress from the interface.
Configuring no-drop queues is applicable only on the interfaces which do not need PFC.
Example:
Port A —> Port B
Port C —> Port B
PFC no-drop queues are configured for queues 1, 2 on Port B. PFC capability is enabled on priorities 3, 4 on
PORT A and C.
Port B acting as Egress
