Willing vs. Non-willing DCB Mode
DCB standards like PFC and ETS must be set to either willing or non-willing mode, which determines whether the port is willing to accept configuration settings from its link partner.
Mode | When to Use |
---|
Willing | |
Non-willing | - For back-to-back configurations.
- For troubleshooting, testing, and manually tweaking the configuration.
- If preferred, configure DCB on all hosts and set the neighboring switch ports to willing (somewhat uncommon and might not be supported by all switches).
