Owners Manual

versions of PFC TLV are supported. DCBx also validates PFC configurations
received in TLVs from peer devices.
By applying a DCB input policy with PFC enabled, you enable PFC operation on
ingress port traffic. To achieve complete lossless handling of traffic, also enable
PFC on all DCB egress ports or configure the dot1p priority-queue assignment of
PFC priorities to lossless queues (refer to pfc no-drop queues).

Information
If you apply an input policy with PFC disabled (no pfc mode on):
• You can enable link-level flow control on the interface. To delete the input
policy, first disable link-level flow control. PFC is then automatically enabled on
the interface because an interface is by default PFC-enabled.
