[SwitchA] lldp global enable

# Enable LLDP on interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and enable the interface to advertise

DCBX TLVs.

[SwitchA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] lldp enable

[SwitchA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] lldp tlv-enable dot1-tlv dcbx

[SwitchA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Create an Ethernet frame header ACL numbered 4000, and configure two rules to match FCoE

frames (protocol type 0x8906) and FIP frames (protocol type 0x8914).

[SwitchA] acl number 4000
