PFC - Show / manipulate PFC TLV configuration SYNOPSIS
lldptool -t -i ethx -V PFC { willing | enabled | delay | numtcs } lldptool -T -i ethx -V PFC <-c CONFIG_ARG ...> CONFIG_ARG := enableTx = {yes|no} | willing = {0|1} | enabled = [0..7],[0..7],... | delay = integer DESCRIPTION
The PFC TLV is used to display and set current PFC TLV attributes. ARGUMENTS
enableTx Enable the PFC TLV to be transmitted in the LLDP PDU for the specified interface. willing Display or set willing attribute. If set and peer TLV is received the peer PFC attributes will be used. If cleared locally config- ured attributes are used. enabled Display or set priorities with PFC enabled. The set attribute takes a comma separated list of priorities to enable. delay Display or set delay attribute used to configure PFC thresholds in hardware buffers. If PFC is enabled and frames continue to be dropped due to full hardware buffers increasing this value may help. Theory of Operations The PFC TLV uses Symmetric attribute passing meaning the attributes used will depend on the willing bit. If the willing bit is enabled and a peer TLV is received the peers attributes will be used. If the willing bit is set to 0 the local attributes should be used. When both the peer and local configuration are willing a tie breaking scheme is used. For more detailed coverage see the specification. EXAMPLE &; USAGE Enable PFC for priorities 1, 2, and 4 on eth2 lldptool -T -i eth2 -V PFC enabled=1,2,4 Display priorities enabled for PFC on eth2 lldptool -t -i eth2 -V PFC -c enabled Display last transmitted PFC TLV on eth2 lldptool -t -i eth2 -V PFC SOURCE

CONFIG_ARG := enableTx = {yes|no} | tsa = tc:{ets|strict|vendor},... | up2tc = priority:tc,... | tcbw = bw1,bw2,... DESCRIPTION
The Extended Transmission Selection (ETS) feature has a recommendation TLV and a configuration TLV configured with ETS-REC and ETS-CFG respectively. ARGUMENTS
enableTx Enables the ETS TLV to be transmitted willing Sets the ETS-CFG willing bit tsa Transmission selection algorithm, sets a comma separated list of traffic classes to the corresponding selection algorithm. Valid algorithms include "ets", "strict" and "vendor". up2tc Comma separated list mapping user priorities to traffic classes. tcbw Comma separated list of bandwiths for each traffic class the first value being assigned to traffic class 0 and the second to traffic class 1 and so on. Undefined bandwidths are presumed to be 0. numtcs Sets/Displays the number of ETS supported traffic classes. Theory of Operations IEEE 802.1Qaz is enabled by default on hardware that supports this mode indicated by support for the DCBNL interface. Kernel config option CONFIG_DCB. The ETS-CFG TLV is advertised by default with the attributes indicated by querying the hardware for its current configuration. A valid configuration is to map all priorities to a single traffic class and use the link strict selection algorithm. This is equivalent to being in a non-DCB enabled mode. To support legacy CEE DCBX the ETS-CFG and ETS-REC TLVs are disabled if a CEE TLV is received and there are no valid IEEE 802.1Qaz TLVs present. At this time the hardware DCBX mode will be set to CEE and IEEE mode is disabled. This allows switches to be configured and end nodes will then be configured accordingly without any configuration required on the end node. Mapping applications and protocols to traffic classes is required for ETS to be useful. User space programs can encode the priority of an application with the SO_PRIORITY option. Low level drivers that support priority to traffic class mappings may enable this mode by default. For drivers that do not support this mode manual configuration can support this mode of operation see tc-mqprio(8) and tc-multiq. Addi- tionally, tc qdiscs and filters can be used to map protocols to queues see tc(8) for more details along these lines. Finally, many drivers have support for specific protocols ie Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Support for tc-mqprio was added in 2.6.38 on older kernels other mechanisms may need to be used to map applications to traffic classes. SEE ALSO
