Qos Dot1P Traffic Classification And Queue Assignment - Dell PowerEdge M IO Aggregator Command Reference Manual

QoS dot1p Traffic Classification and Queue Assignment

DCB supports PFC, ETS, and DCBX to handle converged Ethernet traffic that is assigned to an egress
queue according to the following quality of service (QoS) methods:
• Honor dot1p: dot1p priorities in ingress traffic are used at the port or global switch level.
• Layer 2 class maps: dot1p priorities are used to classify traffic in a class map and apply a service
policy to an ingress port to map traffic to egress queues.
Note: Dell Force10 does not recommend mapping all ingress traffic to a single queue when using PFC
and ETS. Ingress traffic classification using the
Important: of two
recommended on all DCB-enabled interfaces. If you use L2 class maps to map dot1p priority traffic to
egress queues, take into account the default dot1p-queue assignments in
number of two lossless queues supported on a port.
Although FTOS allows you to change the default dot1p priority-queue assignments, DCB policies applied
to an interface may become invalid if dot1p-queue mapping is reconfigured. If the configured DCB policy
remains valid, the change in the dot1p-queue assignment is allowed. For DCB ETS enabled interfaces,
traffic destined to queue that is not mapped to any dot1p priority will be dropped.
