Command History
This guide is platform-specific. For command information about other platforms, see the relevant Dell Networking 
OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Version Description
9.8(1.0) Introduced on the Z9100–ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON and Z9500.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the S4810, S6000 platforms.
Usage Information
PFC and ETS settings are not pre-configured on Ethernet ports. You must use the dcb-map command to 
configure different groups of 802.1p priorities with PFC and ETS settings.
Using the priority-pgid command, you assign each 802.1p priority to one priority group. A priority group 
consists of 802.1p priority values that are grouped together for similar bandwidth allocation and scheduling, and 
that share latency and loss requirements. All 802.1p priorities mapped to the same queue must be in the same 
priority group. For example, the 
priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 2 4 4 4 command creates the following groups 
of 802.1p priority traffic:
• Priority group 0 contains traffic with dot1p priorities 0, 1, and 2.
• Priority group 1 contains traffic with dot1p priority 3.
• Priority group 2 contains traffic with dot1p priority 4.
• Priority group 4 contains traffic with dot1p priority 5, 6, and 7.
To remove a priority-pgid configuration from a DCB map, enter the no priority-pgid command.
For PFC enabled priorities, it is recommended to map single priority per Priority group.
priority-group bandwidth pfc
Configure the ETS bandwidth allocation and PFC mode used to manage port traffic in an 802.1p priority group.
Syntax
priority-group group-num {bandwidth percentage| strict-priority} [[committed | 
peak ] | [peak | committed] {<0-10000>} [<0-10000>]] pfc {on | off}
Parameters
priority-group 
group-num
Enter the keyword priority-group followed by the number of an 802.1p priority 
group. Use the priority-pgid command to create the priority groups in a DCB map.
bandwidth 
percentage
Enter the keyword bandwidth followed by a bandwidth percentage allocated to the 
priority group. The range of valid values is 1 to 100. The sum of all allocated bandwidth 
percentages in priority groups in a DCB map must be 100%.
strict-priority Configure the priority-group traffic to be handled with strict priority scheduling. Strict-
priority traffic is serviced first, before bandwidth allocated to other priority groups is 
made available.
pfc {on | off} Configure whether priority-based flow control is enabled (on) or disabled (off) for port 
traffic in the priority group.
Defaults None
