214 Chapter 14: FCoE and CEE

BMD00220, October 2010

Configuring DCBX

Consider an example consistent

Figure 22 on page 189

and used with the previous 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 G8124 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:

1.

Turn CEE on.

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 192

).

2.

Enable desired DCBX configuration negotiation on FCoE ports:

3.

Enable desired DCBX advertisements on other CEE ports:

RS G8124(config)# cee enable

RS G8124(config)# cee port 2 dcbx enable

RS G8124(config)# cee port 2 dcbx app_proto advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 2 dcbx ets advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 2 dcbx pfc advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 3 dcbx enable

RS G8124(config)# cee port 3 dcbx app_proto advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 3 dcbx ets advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 3 dcbx pfc advertise

RS G8124(config)# cee port 1 dcbx enable
