the system.

Usage
Information
You can configure up to a maximum of four lossless (PFC) queues. By configuring
four lossless queues, you can configure four different priorities and assign a
particular priority to each application that your network is used to process. For
example, you can assign a higher priority for time-sensitive applications and a
lower priority for other services, such as file transfers. You can configure the
amount of buffer space to be allocated for each priority and the pause or resume
thresholds for the buffer. This method of configuration enables you to effectively
manage and administer the behavior of lossless queues.
Example
Dell(conf)# dcb-policy buffer-threshold stack-unit all stack-
ports all test
dcb-policy buffer-threshold (Interface Configuration)
Assign the DCB policy to the DCB buffer threshold profile on interfaces. This setting takes precedence
over the global buffer-threshold setting.
Syntax
dcb-policy buffer-threshold
profile-name
Parameters
buffer-
threshold
Configure the profile name for the DCB buffer threshold
profile-name
Enter the name of the profile, which can be a string of up to
