LLDP-DCBX configuration

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 Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) enables Enhanced Ethernet devices to
discover whether a peer device supports particular features, such as Priority Flow Control or Class
of Service (CoS). In a Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) environment, LLDP is enhanced with
DCBX protocol to further share or change the configured CEE 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 a LLDP
profile to a port or link aggregation group (LAG).
