Usage 
Information
NOTE: Please note that Dell Networking does not recommended to use this 
command as it has been deprecated in the current 9.4.(0.0) release. A warning 
message appears when you try to run this command indicating that you have 
to use the dcb-map commands in the future.
By applying a DCB input policy with PFC enabled, you enable PFC operation on 
ingress port traffic. To achieve complete lossless handling of traffic, also enable 
PFC on all DCB egress ports or configure the dot1p priority-queue assignment of 
PFC priorities to lossless queues (refer to pfc no-drop queues).
To disable PFC operation on an interface, enter the no pfc mode on command in 
DCB Input Policy Configuration mode. PFC is enabled and disabled as global DCB 
operation is enabled (dcb-enable) or disabled (no dcb-enable).
You cannot enable PFC and link-level flow control at the same time on an 
interface.
