provides an easy and flexible technique to accommodate both administratively- configured and peer-configured priorities.

dcb-policy buffer-threshold (Interface Configuration)

Assign the DCB policy to the DCB buffer threshold profile on interfaces. This setting takes precedence over the global buffer-threshold setting.

Usage

You can configure up to a maximum of four lossless (PFC) queues. By configuring

Information

four lossless queues, you can configure four different priorities and assign a

 

particular priority to each application that your network is used to process. For

 

example, you can assign a higher priority for time-sensitive applications and a

 

lower priority for other services, such as file transfers. You can configure the

 

amount of buffer space to be allocated for each priority and the pause or resume

 

thresholds for the buffer. This method of configuration enables you to effectively

 

manage and administer the behavior of lossless queues.
