• The CIN version of DCBx supports only PFC, ETS, and FCOE; it does not support iSCSI, backward congestion management (BCN), logical link down (LLD), and network interface virtualization (NIV). DCBX Error Messages The following syslog messages appear when an error in DCBx operation occurs. LLDP_MULTIPLE_PEER_DETECTED: DCBx is operationally disabled after detecting more than one DCBx peer on the port interface. LLDP_PEER_AGE_OUT: DCBx is disabled as a result of LLDP timing out on a DCBx peer interface. DSM_DCBx_PEER_VERSION_CONFLICT: A local port expected to receive the IEEE, CIN, or CEE version in a DCBx TLV from a remote peer but received a different, conflicting DCBx version. DSM_DCBx_PFC_PARAMETERS_MATCH and DSM_DCBx_PFC_PARAMETERS_MISMATCH: A local DCBx port received a compatible (match) or incompatible (mismatch) PFC configuration from a peer. DSM_DCBx_ETS_PARAMETERS_MATCH and DSM_DCBx_ETS_PARAMETERS_MISMATCH: A local DCBx port received a compatible (match) or incompatible (mismatch) ETS configuration from a peer. LLDP_UNRECOGNISED_DCBx_TLV_RECEIVED: A local DCBx port received an unrecognized DCBx TLV from a peer. Debugging DCBX on an Interface To enable DCBx debug traces for all or a specific control paths, use the following command. • Enable DCBx debugging. EXEC PRIVILEGE mode debug dcbx {all | auto-detect-timer | config-exchng | fail | mgmt | resource | sem | tlv} - all: enables all DCBx debugging operations. - auto-detect-timer: enables traces for DCBx auto-detect timers. - config-exchng: enables traces for DCBx configuration exchanges. - fail: enables traces for DCBx failures. - mgmt: enables traces for DCBx management frames. - resource: enables traces for DCBx system resource frames. - sem: enables traces for the DCBx state machine. - tlv: enables traces for DCBx TLVs.
