• Before configuring the port queues to function as no-drop queues, you must first apply the dcb-map map with
pfc mode off. To apply the dcb-map with pfc mode off, use the following commands: dcb-map pfcoff and
no pfc mode on.
pfc priority
Configure the CoS traffic to be stopped for the specified delay.
Syntax
pfc priority priority-range
To delete the pfc priority configuration, use the no pfc priority command.
Parameters
priority-range Enter the 802.1p values of the frames to be paused. Separate the priority values with a
comma; specify a priority range with a dash; for example, pfc priority 1,3,5-7. The range is
from 0 to 7.

Usage Information
The default number of 802.1p priorities that you can enable for PFC is 2. The maximum number of 802.1p priorities
that you can enable for PFC is –4. Queues to which PFC priority traffic is mapped are lossless by default. Traffic
may be interrupted due to an interface flap (going down and coming up) when you reconfigure the lossless
queues for no-drop priorities.
The default number of lossless queues supported on the switch is two. The maximum number of lossless queues
supported on the system is 4.
A PFC peer must support the configured priority traffic (as DCBX detects) to apply PFC.
