The status value “Failed” indicates an error in one of the DCBX feature information exchanges. The specific error reason
is displayed in the individual feature state field below.
Peer is not running DCBX
Figure 43: Virtual Connect Uplink Port showing a DCBX negotiation failure and State fields are showing: Peer is not
running DCBX
Figure 44: VC Domain critical alert showing an FCoE network failure due to a DCBX issue
Figure 45: FCoE network status is red
Possible reason: The peer DCB port is not enabled for DCBX or it is using an unsupported version of DCB.
DCBX has three versions: DCBX Rev 1.00, DCBX Rev 1.01, and IEEE Std 802.1Qaz™-2011 (standard version).
Note: Virtual Connect Uplink Port will show a DCBX negotiation failure when DCB peer is sending DCBX Rev 1.00 TLVs.
Only Pre-CEE DCBX versions are not supported by Virtual Connect (i.e. DCBX Rev 1.00).
