2. Associate above class-maps to Queues Queue assignment to be based on the below table .
NOTE: Although, each port on the S4810, S4820T, and S5000 devices support 8 QoS queues, you can configure
only 4 QoS queues (0-3)to manage data traffic. The remaining 4 queues (4-7) are reserved for control traffic.

3. Dot1p->Queue Mapping Configuration is retained at the default value.
Default dot1p-queue mapping is,
Dell#show qos dot1p-queue-mapping
Dot1p Priority : 0
Queue : 0
Default dot1p-queue mapping is,
Dell#show qos dot1p-queue-mapping
Dot1p Priority : 0
Queue : 2
4. Interface Configurations on server connected ports.
a. Enable DCB globally.
Dell(conf)#dcb enable
b. Apply PFC Priority configuration. Configure priorities on which PFC is enabled.
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#pfc priority 1,2

Using PFC to Manage Converged Ethernet Traffic

To use PFC for managing converged Ethernet traffic, use the following command:
dcb-map stack-unit all dcb-map-name

Configure Enhanced Transmission Selection

ETS provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet traffic.
Different traffic types have different service needs. Using ETS, you can create groups within an 802.1p priority class to configure
different treatment for traffic with different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort needs.
For example, storage traffic is sensitive to frame loss; interprocess communication (IPC) traffic is latency-sensitive. ETS allows
different traffic 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.

ETS Prerequisites and Restrictions

The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure ETS bandwidth allocation or queue scheduling.
• Configuring ETS bandwidth allocation or a queue scheduler for dot1p priorities in a priority group is applicable if the DCBx version
used on a port is CIN (refer to
• When allocating bandwidth or configuring a queue scheduler for dot1p priorities in a priority group on a DCBx CIN interface, take
into account the CIN bandwidth allocation (refer to
