CONFIGURATION

already configured to exchange DCB information, where:
• auto configures all ports to operate using the DCBX
version received from a peer.
•
cee configures a port to use CEE (Intel 1.01).
cin configures a port to use Cisco-Intel-Nuova (DCBX
1.0).
• ieee-v2.5 configures a port to use IEEE 802.1Qaz
(Draft 2.5).
Default: Auto.

PROTOCL LLDP
Note: You can configure the DCBX port role used by interfaces to exchange DCB information by using the dcbx
port-role command in INTERFACE Configuration mode (see Step 3 in Configuring DCBX Globally on the
Switch).
4 (OPTIONAL) Configure the PFC and ETS TLVs to be
advertised on unconfigured interfaces with a manual
port-role, where:
•
ets-conf enables transmission of ETS Configuration
TLVs.
• ets-reco enables transmission of ETS Recommend
TLVs.
• pfc enables transmission of PFC TLVs.
Note: You can configure the transmission of more than
one TLV type at a time. ETS recommend TLVs (ets-reco)
can be enabled only if ETS configuration TLVs (ets-conf)
are enabled. To disable TLV transmission, use the no form
of the command; for example, no advertise dcbx-tlv pfc
ets-reco.
Default: All TLV types are enabled.
