Do you actually need DFCs on this box? A pfc3bxl will happily switch
up to 16m pps before adding a dfc makes a difference. And if your
traffic rates are such that you've only just noticed that software
switching no longer works, it sounds unlikely that using dfcs will do
anything at all for you - other than cost money.
Unless you're shifting many millions of pps on this box, I'd just
take out the dfcs completely.
I don't know what the OPs needs are, but for the archives it's worth
emphasising that DFCs do more than just speed the box up. One example:
many LAN cards have very different QoS queueing options with a CFC
versus a DFC. In addition we've hit IOS bugs in the past which only show
on CFC cards.
