Adding an LLDP profile, parameters into a Brocade-specific Type/Length/Value TLV

Page 335 highlights

LLDP-DCBX configuration 19 7. Choose the Mode. For Mode, the choices are Tx (transmit), Rx, (receive) or Both. The default is Both. 8. In the Hello field, enter a time value in seconds. The Hello value sets the interval between hello bridge protocol data units sent by the root switch configuration messages. The range is 4 to 180 seconds. The default is 30 seconds. 9. In the Multiplier field, set the number of consecutive misses allowed before LLDP considers the interface to be down. The range is 1 to 10. The default is 4. The multiplier is related to the Hello time interval. Using the defaults, you wait four times (the multiplier value) at 30 second intervals (the hello value) before giving up on the interface. 10. In the FC0E Priority Bits field, type a value that indicates the desired user priority. Each bit represents a user priority associated with FCoE traffic. The range is 0-255. The default is 8. 11. Choose the parameters you want to exchange. Note that the term TLV indicates packaging of parameters into a Brocade-specific Type/Length/Value (TLV): - Advertise Optional-tlv - Advertises the following optional TLVs: • system-description - Describes switch or blade characteristics. • port-description - Describes the configured port. • system-name - Specifies the system name. • system-capabilities - Describes the system capabilities. • management-address - The IP address of the management port on the 8000 switch. - Advertise dot1-tlv - Select this check box to advertise to any attached device to send IEEE 802.1 LLDP type, length, and values. - Advertise dot3-tlv - Select this check box to advertise to any attached device to send IEEE 802.3 LLDP type, length, and values. - Advertise dcbx-tlv - Select this check box to advertise to any attached device the respective LLDP type, length, and values. - Advertise dcbx-fcoe-logical-link - Select this check box to advertise to any attached device to send DCBX protocol over LLDP to negotiate the logical link type, length, and values. - Advertise dcbx-fcoe-app - Select this check box to advertise application type, length, and values to ensure interoperability of traffic over DCBX protocol running over LLDP. 12. Click Apply. 13. Click Save Configuration. Adding an LLDP profile The LLDP profile determines LLDP settings per port. 1. Select the CEE tab on the Switch Administration panel. 2. Select the LLDP-DCBX tab. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 303 53-1001343-01
