## Configure the Mode for the DCB Feature

In normal operation, the DCB feature is in automatic mode. Whenever applicable, the hardware configuration will be set after a feature is exchanged with its peer and the feature attributes are compatible with its peer. In some cases, "force mode" might be needed to set the hardware configuration, regardless of its peer configuration, without waiting for DCBX TLV to be exchanged.

1. Set the PG feature to auto mode.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/2
       SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-group mode auto
       SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-flow-control mode auto
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

2. View the DCB mode.

       SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/2 dcb mode

       Port                  : Ex0/2
       Show Type             : Admin State
       DCB Capable State     : on
       Priority Group        : auto
       Priority Flow Control : auto

3. Set the PG feature to force mode.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/2
       SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-group mode on
       SEFOS(config-if)# set dcb priority-flow-control mode on
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

4. View the interface mode after setting it to force mode.

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