Applying an ETS Output Policy for a Priority Group to an

To apply ETS on egress port traffic, you must associate a priority group with an ETS output policy which
has scheduling and bandwidth configuration in a DCB output policy, and then apply the output policy to an
interface.
To apply ETS on egress port traffic, follow these steps:
Step Task Command Command Mode
1 Create a DCB output policy to associate an
ETS configuration with priority traffic.
