NOTE
By default, the dcbx-tlv is advertised; the dot1-tlv, dot3-tlv, dcbx-fcoe-app-tlv, and

To configure the LLDP DCBX-related TLVs to be advertised, perform the following steps from
Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
3. Advertise the LLDP DCBX-related TLVs using these commands:
Configuring FCoE priority bits
The FCoE priority bit setting is a bitmap setting where each bit position stands for a priority. When
you set a bit for a particular priority, that priority setting is applied to the FCoE traffic (that is, the
incoming FCoE traffic will have that priority). The default value is 0x08.
NOTE
FCoE traffic is only supported on the priority level that also has flow control enabled. This means that
the final advertised FCoE priority consists of the configured FCoE priority setting and the per-priority
flow control setting.
To configure the FCoE priority bits, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
3. Configure the FCoE priority bits.
Configuring LLDP profiles
You can configure up to 64 profiles on a switch. Using the no profile NAME command deletes the
entire profile.
