Data Center Commands

This chapter describes the commands to configure the data center features available in the D-LINK OS
CLI. The Data Center Commands section includes the following commands:

Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol Commands

The Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBX) is used by DCB devices to exchange configuration
information with directly-connected peers. The protocol is also used to detect misconfiguration of the peer
DCB devices and, optionally, for configuration of peer DCB devices.
6-1 lldp dcbx version
Use the lldp dcbx version command in Global Configuration mode to configure the administrative
version for the Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX) protocol. This command enables the
switch to support a specific version of the DCBX protocol or to detect the peer version and match it.
DCBX can be configured to operate in IEEE mode or CEE mode or CIN. In auto mode, version detection
is based on the peer device DCBX version. The switch operates in either IEEE or one legacy modes on
each interface.
ln auto mode, the switch will attempt to jump start the exchange by sending an IEEE frame, followed by a
CEE frame followed by a CIN frame. The switch will parse the received response and immediately switch
to the peer version.
Note: CIN is Cisco Intel Nuova DCBX (version 1.0). CEE is converged enhanced ethernet DCBX (version
1.06).
Use the no command to reset the DCBX version to the default value of auto.
lldp dcbx version {auto | cin | cee | ieee}
no lldp dcbx version
Parameters
auto
cin
cee
ieee
Default
The default is Auto.
Command Mode
Global Config
Example
The following example configures the switch to use CEE DCBX.
(Routing)(config)#lldp dcbx version cee
Automatically select the version based on the peer response.
Force the mode to Cisco-Intel-Nuova. (DCBX 1.0)
Force the mode to CEE. (DCBX 1.06)
Force the mode to IEEE 802.1Qaz.
