Information
NOTE: Please note that Dell Networking does not recommended to use this 
command as it has been deprecated in the current 9.4.(0.0) release. A warning 
message appears when you try to run this command indicating that you have 
to use the dcb-map commands in the future.
As soon as you apply a DCB policy with PFC enabled on an interface, DCBx starts 
exchanging information with PFC-enabled peers. The IEEE802.1Qbb, CEE, and CIN 
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).
To remove a DCB input policy, including the PFC configuration it contains, enter 
the no dcb-input policy-name command in Interface Configuration mode.
