On the S4048, PFC and ETS use DCBx to exchange link-level configuration with DCBx peer devices.

DCBx Prerequisites and Restrictions
The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure DCBx operation on a port:
•
For DCBx, on a port interface, enable LLDP in both Send (TX) and Receive (RX) mode (the
protocol lldp mode
command; refer to the example in
CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations
chapter). If multiple DCBx peer ports are detected on a local DCBx interface, LLDP is shut down.
•
The CIN version of DCBx supports only PFC, ETS, and FCOE; it does not support iSCSI, backward congestion management
(BCN), logical link down (LLDF), and network interface virtualization (NIV).
Configuring DCBx
To configure DCBx, follow these steps.
For DCBx, to advertise DCBx TLVs to peers, enable LLDP. For more information, refer to
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
.
Configure DCBx operation at the interface level on a switch or globally on the switch. To configure the S4810 system for DCBx
operation in a data center network, you must:
1.
Configure ToR- and FCF-facing interfaces as auto-upstream ports.
2.
Configure server-facing interfaces as auto-downstream ports.
3.
Configure a port to operate in a configuration-source role.
4.
Configure ports to operate in a manual role.
1.
Enter INTERFACE Configuration mode.

slot/port[/subport]
2.
Enter LLDP Configuration mode to enable DCBx operation.
INTERFACE mode
[no] protocol lldp
3.
Configure the DCBx version used on the interface, where:
auto
configures the port to operate using the DCBx version
received from a peer.
