setting.

Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the MXL platform.
Usage Information You can configure 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-if-te-0/0)#dcb-policy buffer-threshold test
dcbx port-role
Configure the DCBX port role the interface uses to exchange DCB information.
Syntax
dcbx port-role {config-source | auto-downstream | auto-upstream | manual}
To remove DCBX port role, use the no dcbx port-role {config-source | auto-downstream |
auto-upstream | manual} command.
Parameters
config-source |
auto-downstream |
auto-upstream |
manual
Enter the DCBX port role, where:
config-source: configures the port to serve as the configuration source on the
switch.
auto-upstream: configures the port to receive a peer configuration. The
configuration source is elected from auto-upstream ports.
auto-downstream: configures the port to accept the internally propagated DCB
configuration from a configuration source.
manual: configures the port to operate only on administer-configured DCB
parameters. The port does not accept a DCB configuration received form a peer or a
local configuration source.
