LLDP-DCBX configuration
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by
increasing numbers and types of network devices in a LAN environment, because, with LLDP, you
can statically monitor and configure each device on a network.
Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) protocol enables Enhanced Ethernet devices to discover
whether a peer device supports particular features, such as Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) or
Class of Service (CoS). In a Data Center Bridging (DCB) environment, LLDP is enhanced with DCBX
protocol to further share or change the configured DCB enhancements. You must enable the DCBX
protocol and configure certain parameters in order to effectively utilize the benefits of a converged
network.
Using the LLDP-DCBX dialog box, you can create and manage LLDP profiles and assign an LLDP
profile to a port or link aggregation group (LAG).
Configuring LLDP for FCoE
To configure LLDP for FCoE, complete the following steps.
NOTE
When a TE port is selected to assign to an LLDP profile, a yellow banner displays with the following
error message: “LLDP-DCBX is disabled on this switch. The configuration becomes functional when
LLDP-DCBX is enabled on the switch.”
1. Select Configure > DCB.
The DCB Configuration dialog box displays.
2. Select the switch to edit in the DCB Ports and LAGs list and click Edit.
