When bandwidth settings exist for both Switch Independent Partitioning and
DCBX, DCBX takes precedence over Switch Independent Partitioning. DCBX
sets the bandwidth for iSCSI and NIC traffic, and then Switch Independent
Partitioning sets the bandwidth for the NIC partitions by dividing the NIC
bandwidth allocated by DCBX. For more information, see
“Interoperation of
Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and Switch Independent Partitioning” on
page 121
