configured version, including fast and slow transmit timers and message formats. If a DCBx frame with a different version is received, a syslog message is generated and the peer version is recorded in the peer status table. If the frame cannot be processed, it is discarded and the discard counter is incremented. NOTE: Because DCBx TLV processing is best effort, it is possible that CIN frames may be processed when DCBx is configured to operate in CEE mode and vice versa. In this case, the unrecognized TLVs cause the unrecognized TLV counter to increment, but the frame is processed and is not discarded. Legacy DCBx (CIN and CEE) supports the DCBx control state machine that is defined to maintain the sequence number and acknowledge the number sent in the DCBx control TLVs. Behavior of Tagged Packets The below is example for enabling PFC for priority 2 for tagged packets. Priority (Packet Dot1p) 2 will be mapped to PG6 on PRIO2PG setting. All other Priorities for which PFC is not enabled are mapped to default PG - PG7. Classification rules on ingress (Ingress FP CAM region) matches incoming packet-dot1p and assigns an internal priority (to select queue as per Table 1 and Table 2). The internal Priority assigned for the packet by Ingress FP is used by the memory management unit (MMU) to assign the packet to right queue by indexing the internal-priority to queue map table (TABLE 1) in hardware. PRIO2COS setting for honoring the PFC protocol packets from the Peer switches is as per above PacketDot1p->queue table (Table 2). The packets that come in with packet-dot1p 2 alone will be assigned to PG6 on ingress. The packets that come in with packet-dot1p 2 alone will use Q1 (as per dot1p to Queue classification - Table 2) on the egress port. • When Peer sends a PFC message for Priority 2, based on above PRIO2COS table (TABLE 2), Queue 1 is halted. • Queue 1 starts buffering the packets with Dot1p 2. This causes PG6 buffer counter to increase on the ingress, since P-dot1p 2 is mapped to PG6. • As the PG6 watermark threshold is reached, PFC will be generated for dot1p 2. Configuration Example for DSCP and PFC Priorities Consider a scenario in which the following DSCP and PFC priorities are necessary: DSCP Expected PFC Priority 0 - 5, 10 - 15 20 - 25, 30 - 35 1 2 To configure the aforementioned DSCP and PFC priority values, perform the following tasks: 1. Create class-maps to group the DSCP subsets class-map match-any dscp-pfc-1 match ip dscp 0-5,10-15 ! 294 Data Center Bridging (DCB)
