If a Brocade VDX6730 switch is used for any DCB connection, enter the following commands for each port connected
from the Aggregator to the Brocade switch:

Dell# interface tenGigabitEthernet 0/12

Dell(conf-if-te-0/12)# protocol lldp

Dell(conf-lldp)# dcbx version cee
Dell(conf-lldp)# exit

Note: The interfaces or port channel connected to the Brocade switch must be manually shut/no shut after

making the above changes. The

dcbx version cee

command configures a port to use the CEE (Intel 1.01)

version of DCBX.
