Normally, this tab is pre-selected.
The DCB Edit Configuration dialog box displays.
The options are None and L2. The default is None.
If you intend to use this port in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), select None. L2 mode is
applied when you configure the LAG.
The choices are Access, Trunk, and Converged. The default is Access.
The L2 mode setting determines operation within a VLAN:
•
Access mode allows only one VLAN association, and all frames are untagged.
•
Trunk mode allows more that one VLAN association, and tagged frames are allowed.
•
Converged mode interface can be Native (untagged or access) in one VLAN and it could be
non-native (trunk or tagged) type in another VLAN.
If you are using the DCB map or a Traffic Class Map to apply QoS traffic priority, select the
appropriate button, and enter the name of the map you want to use.
For a TenGigabitEthernet port configured as an FCoE port, the default DCB map is applied
automatically. You cannot apply the Traffic Class Map to an FCoE port
