Configuring the advertisement of LLDP DCBX -related TLVs
NOTE
By default, the dcbx-tlv is advertised; the dot1-tlv, dot3-tlv, dcbx-fcoe-app-tlv, and
dcbx-fcoe-logical-link-tlv are not advertised.
To configure the LLDP DCBX-related TLVs to be advertised, perform the following steps from
Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
switch(config)#protocol lldp
3. Advertise the LLDP DCBX-related TLVs using these commands:
• switch(conf-lldp)#advertise dcbx-fcoe-app-tlv
• switch(conf-lldp)#advertise dcbx-fcoe-logical-link-tlv
• switch(conf-lldp)#advertise dcbx-tlv
• switch(conf-lldp)#advertise dot1-tlv
• switch(conf-lldp)#advertise dot3-tlv
Configuring FCoE priority bits
The FCoE priority bit setting is a bitmap setting where each bit position stands for a priority. When
you set a bit for a particular priority, that priority setting is applied to the FCoE traffic (that is, the
incoming FCoE traffic will have that priority). The default value is 0x08.
NOTE
FCoE traffic is only supported on the priority level that also has flow control enabled. This means that
the final advertised FCoE priority consists of the configured FCoE priority setting and the per-priority
flow control setting.
To configure the FCoE priority bits, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
switch(config)#protocol lldp
3. Configure the FCoE priority bits.
switch(conf-lldp)#lldp fcoe-priority-bits 3
Configuring LLDP profiles
You can configure up to 64 profiles on a switch. Using the no profile NAME command deletes the
entire profile.
