Configuring DCBx Globally on the Switch
To globally configure DCBx operation on a switch, follow these steps:
6 On manual ports only:
Configure the Application Priority TLVs advertised on the
interface to DCBx peers, where:
• fcoe enables the advertisement of FCoE in Application
Priority TLVs.
• iscsi enables the advertisement of iSCSI in Application
Priority TLVs.
Default: Application Priority TLVs are enabled to advertise
FCoE and iSCSI.
Note: To disable TLV transmission, enter the no form of the
command; for example, no advertise DCBx-appln-tlv iscsi.
For information about how to use FCoE and iSCSI, refer to
FIP Snooping and iSCSI Optimization.

CONFIGURATION
3 Configure the DCBx version used on all interfaces not
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.
[no] DCBx version {auto | cee
| cin | ieee-v2.5}

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).
