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.
dcbx port-role
Configure the DCBX port role the interface uses to exchange DCB information.
Syntax
