What does Data Center Bridging do?
Allows the classification of traffic via rules and classes for QoS implementation.
What is the first step in configuring DCB?
- Through the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Server Manager or through PowerShell using the command: Install-WindowsFeature Data-Center-Bridging
- Enable remote configuration utilizing the DCBX protocol using the command: Set-NetQoSDcbxSetting -Willing $True
- Enable/Verify RDMA on interface(s) using the commands: Enable-NetAdapterRdma -Name “Ethernet 0” or Get-NetAdapterRdma
- Create QoS rule(s) using the command: New-NetQoSPolicy “SMB_Direct” -NetDirectPortMatchCondition 445 -PriorityValue8021Action 6 or New-NetQoSPolicy “Default” -Default -PriorityValue8021Action 1
- Define traffic classes using the command: New-NetQoSrafficClass “SMB_Traffic” -Priority 6 -Algorithm ETS -Bandwidth 30
- Enable-NetAdapterQos -InterfaceAlias “Ethernet 0”
What is the 2nd step in configuring DCB?
Enable remote configuration utilizing the DCBX protocol using the command:
Set-NetQoSDcbxSetting -Willing $True
What is the 3rd step in configuring DCB?
Enable/Verify RDMA on interface(s) using the commands:
Enable-NetAdapterRdma -Name “Ethernet 0” or
Get-NetAdapterRdma
What is the 4th step in configuring DCB?
Create QoS rule(s) using the command:
New-NetQoSPolicy “SMB_Direct” -NetDirectPortMatchCondition 445 -PriorityValue8021Action 6 or
New-NetQoSPolicy “Default” -Default -PriorityValue8021Action 1
What is the 5th step in configuring DCB?
Define traffic classes using the command:
New-NetQoSrafficClass “SMB_Traffic” -Priority 6 -Algorithm ETS -Bandwidth 30
What is the 6th step in configuring DCB?
Enable DCB on the interface:
Enable-NetAdapterQos -InterfaceAlias “Ethernet 0”
