dcbx detail
.
This command will show more specific detail about the configuration that has been

uplink into the top-of-rack FCF switch.
Some key items in these results will be “true or false” for
is configuration source
,
Local DCBX
Compatibility mode is:, and Peer Operating version is:.
These results will be important in
