Configure Data Center Bridging (DCB) (Optional)

DCB is enabled by default. This section shows the steps required to configure DCB.
Note: You must complete the Dell recommended switch configuration steps in Sections 2.1 to
2.14before configuring the switch for DCB mode.
3.1

Disable 802.3x flowcontrol on SFP+ ports

FTOS#configure
FTOS(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 0/0 - 47
FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/0-47)#no flowcontrol rx on tx off
FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/0-47)#exit
3.2

Disable 802.3x flowcontrol on all QSFP ports

FTOS(conf)#interface range fortyGigE 0/48 – 60
FTOS(conf-if-range-fo-0/48-60)#no flowcontrol rx on tx off
FTOS(conf-if-range-fo-0/48-60)#exit
3.3

Enable DCB

FTOS(conf)#dcb enable
FTOS(conf)#exit
FTOS#copy running-config startup-config
3.4

Create tagged VLAN for all ports and port-channels

Note: The arrays will temporarily lose communication with each other when a non-default VLAN is
configured on the switch. Therefore, the appropriate VLAN must be configured on the arrays to resume
array communications. All hosts NICS must also be configured with the same VLAN.
FTOS#configure
FTOS(conf)#interface vlan vlan-id
Note: You must supply a VLAN id. The valid range is 2-4093.
FTOS (conf-if-vl-vlan-id*)#no shutdown
