Usage Information
You can configure the transmission of more than one TLV type at a time; for
example: advertise dcbx-tlv ets-conf ets-reco.
You can enable ETS recommend TLVs (ets-reco) only if you enable ETS
configuration TLVs (
ets-conf). To disable TLV transmission, use the no form of
the command; for example,
no advertise dcbx-tlv pfc ets-reco.
DCBX requires that you enable LLDP to advertise DCBX TLVs to peers.
Configure DCBX operation at the INTERFACE level on a switch or globally on the
switch. To verify the DCBX configuration on a port, use the show interface
dcbx detail command.
NOTE: The advertise dcbx-tlv command is not supported on cascade
interfaces or extended ports.
dcbx port-role
Configure the DCBX port role the interface uses to exchange DCB information.

To remove DCBX port role, use the no dcbx port-role {config-source |
auto-downstream | auto-upstream | manual} command.
Parameters
config-source |
auto-downstream

manual
Enter the DCBX port role, where:
• config-source: configures the port to serve as the
configuration source on the switch.
• auto-upstream: configures the port to receive a peer
configuration. The configuration source is elected from
auto-upstream ports.
• auto-downstream: configures the port to accept the
internally propagated DCB configuration from a
configuration source.
• manual: configures the port to operate only on
administer-configured DCB parameters. The port does
not accept a DCB configuration received form a peer or
a local configuration source.
