17 LLDP-DCBX configuration The Hello value sets the interval between hello bridge protocol data units sent by the root switch configuration messages. The range of valid values is from 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 2 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, enter a value that indicates the desired user priority. Each bit represents a user priority associated with FCoE traffic. The range of valid values is from 0 through 255. The default is 8. Even though setting multiple bits is allowed (exercising the full range of values), it doesn't make sense to set more than one bit, because adapters don't support multiple priorities for FCoE. NOTE Web Tools accepts only decimal values for this option, but the CLI allows only entries in list format or hexadecimal. For example, if you enter the value 8 (decimal) in Web Tools, CLI represents it as 3 in list format. If you enter the value 255 (decimal) iin Web Tools, CLI represents it as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in list format. 11. Select 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.

LLDP-DCBX configuration
17
The Hello value sets the interval between hello bridge protocol data units sent by the root
switch configuration messages. The range of valid values is from 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 2 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, enter a value that indicates the desired user priority. Each bit
represents a user priority associated with FCoE traffic.
The range of valid values is from 0 through 255. The default is 8.
Even though setting multiple bits is allowed (exercising the full range of values), it doesn't
make sense to set more than one bit, because adapters don't support multiple priorities for
FCoE.
NOTE
Web Tools accepts only decimal values for this option, but the CLI allows only entries in list
format or hexadecimal. For example, if you enter the value 8 (decimal) in Web Tools, CLI
represents it as 3 in list format. If you enter the value 255 (decimal) iin Web Tools, CLI
represents it as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in list format.
