Congure Enhanced Transmission Selection
ETS provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet trac.
Dierent trac types have dierent service needs. Using ETS, you can create groups within an 802.1p priority class to congure dierent 
treatment for trac with dierent bandwidth, latency, and best-eort needs.
For example, storage trac is sensitive to frame loss; interprocess communication (IPC) trac is latency-sensitive. ETS allows dierent 
trac types to coexist without interruption in the same converged link by:
• Allocating a guaranteed share of bandwidth to each priority group.
• Allowing each group to exceed its minimum guaranteed bandwidth if another group is not fully using its allotted bandwidth.
Creating an ETS Priority Group
An ETS priority group species the range of 802.1p priority trac to which a QoS output policy with ETS settings is applied on an egress 
interface. Before conguring ETS, use the cam-acl l2acl 2 ipv4acl 0 ipv6acl 0 ipv4qos 2 l2qos 0 l2pt 0 
ipmacacl 0 vman-qos 0 fcoeacl 2 etsacl 1 iscsi 2 command to allocate the appropriate CAM region for ETS.
1  Congure a DCB Map.
CONFIGURATION mode
dcb-map dcb-map-name
The dcb-map-name variable can have a maximum of 32 characters.
2  Create an ETS priority group.
CONFIGURATION mode
priority-group group-num {bandwidth bandwidth | strict-priority} pfc off 
The range for priority group is from 0 to 7.
Set the bandwidth in percentage. The percentage range is from 1 to 100% in units of 1%.
Committed and peak bandwidth is in megabits per second. The range is from 0 to 40000.
Committed and peak burst size is in kilobytes. Default is 50. The range is from 0 to 10000.
3  Congure the 802.1p priorities for the trac on which you want to apply an ETS output policy.
PRIORITY-GROUP mode
priority-list value
The range is from 0 to 7.
The default is none.
Separate priority values with a comma. Specify a priority range with a dash. For example, priority-list 3,5-7.
4  Exit priority-group conguration mode.
PRIORITY-GROUP mode
exit
5  Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to congure all remaining dot1p priorities in an ETS priority group.
6  Specify the dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping for each priority.
