Configure LLDP DCBX TLVs

You can enable or disable the transmission of DCBX TLV (type, length, value) types on a port. This example uses port 0/21.

  1. Enable DCBX TLVs for ETS, PFC, and the application.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/21
    SEFOS(config-if)# lldp tlv-select dcb1tlv enhanced-transmission-selection priority-flow-control application-etype-fcoe
    SEFOS(config)# end
  2. View the TLV settings.
    SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/21 dcb enhanced-transmission-selection
