 PFC
DCBX exchanges information regarding whether PFC is enabled or disabled on
the port. The advertise flag is set or reset using the following command:
RS G8264(config)# [no] cee port <port alias or number> dcbx pfc advertise
The willing flag is set or reset using the following command:
RS G8264(config)# [no] cee port <port alias or number> dcbx pfc willing
ETS

DCBX exchanges information regarding ETS priority groups, including their
802.1p priority members and bandwidth allocation percentages. The
advertise flag is set or reset using the following command:
RS G8264(config)# [no] cee port <port alias or number> dcbx ets advertise
The willing flag is set or reset using the following command:
RS G8264(config)# [no] cee port <port alias or number> dcbx ets willing
Consider an example consistent Figure 32 on page
FCoE examples in this chapter:
 FCoE is used on ports 2 and 3.
CEE features are also used with LANs on ports 1 and 4.

 All other ports are disabled or are connected to regular (non‐CEE) LAN devices.
In this example, the G8264 acts as the central point for CEE configuration.
FCoE‐related ports will be configured for advertising CEE capabilities, but not to
accept external configuration. Other LAN ports that use CEE features will also be
configured to advertise feature settings to remote peers, but not to accept external
configuration. DCBX will be disabled on all non‐CEE ports.
This example can be configured using the following commands:
RS G8264(config)# cee enable
Note: Turning CEE on will automatically change some 802.1p QoS and 802.3x
standard flow control settings and menus (see "Turning CEE On or Off" on
page 368).
