Also, setting failure=1 in a subshell (in the parens) doesn't change
the value in the parent shell, so that won't work.

How about:

        dcbtool gc ${IFNAME} dcb | grep 'DCB State' | grep -q on
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]
        then
                echo "DCB is not on, exectue the following command to turn it 
on" >&2
                echo "dcbtool sc ${IFNAME} dcb on" >&2
                failure=1
        fi
