Enable and Disable a Specific DCB Feature

You can enable and disable a specific DCB feature after DCB has been globally enabled. For example, when exchanging a DCBX protocol with its peer, you might want to inform its peer that a DCB-specific feature has been enabled or disabled.

The following example enables the PFC feature and disables PG and the application. This example uses port 0/2.

1. Enable DCB.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/2
   SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb enable

2. Enable PFC.

   SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-flow-control enable

3. Disable PG and the application.

   SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-group disable
   SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb application-etype-fcoe disable
   SEFOS(config-if)# end

4. View the DCB state and feature mode.

   SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/2 dcb mode
    
   Port                  : Ex0/2
   Show Type             : Admin State
   DCB Capable State     : on
