When configuring lossless queues on a port interface, consider the following points:
• By default, no lossless queues are configured on a port.
• A limit of two lossless queues are supported on a port. If the number of lossless queues configured
exceeds the maximum supported limit per port (two), an error message is displayed. You must re-
configure the value to a smaller number of queues.
• If you configure lossless queues on an interface that already has a DCB map with PFC enabled (pfc
on), an error message is displayed.

Configure the port queues that still function
as no-drop queues for lossless traffic. For
the dot1p-queue assignments.
The maximum number of lossless queues
globally supported on a port is 2.
You cannot configure PFC no-drop queues
on an interface on which a DCB map with
PFC enabled has been applied, or which is
already configured for PFC using the pfc
priority command.
Range: 0-3. Separate queue values with a
comma; specify a priority range with a dash;
for example: pfc no-drop queues 1,3 or pfc
no-drop queues 2-3 Default: No lossless
queues are configured.

Data Center Bridging: Default Configuration
Before you configure PFC and ETS on a switch see the priority group setting taken into account the
following default settings:
DCB is enabled.
PFC and ETS are globally enabled by default.
