DCB Tab Field Definitions

DCBX State – The current DCBX state (enabled or disabled).

LLDP Transmit State – DCBX uses LLDP to exchange parameters between two
link peers. For the DCBX protocol to operate correctly, both LLDP Rx and Tx
must be enabled. If either Rx or Tx is disabled, DCBX is disabled.

LLDP Receive State – DCBX uses LLDP to exchange parameters between two
link peers. For the DCBX protocol to operate correctly, both LLDP Rx and Tx
must be enabled. If either Rx or Tx is disabled, DCBX is disabled.
PFC Properties Area

State – Enabled means that flow control in both directions (Tx and Rx) is
enabled. Disabled means that priority-flow control is currently disabled. The
priority value, if Shown, is not applicable. This may be caused by:

The switch port priority-flow control being set to On instead of Auto

Switch port using port flow control instead of priority flow control

PFC disabled at adapter or switch

Active Priorities – Lists the priorities with PFC set to enabled.

Sync’d – If yes, the PFC priorities have been set by the peer. This parameter
cannot be set.

Error – The error state. This capability indicates whether an error has occurred
during the configuration exchange with the peer. Error is also set to YES when
the Compatible method for the capability fails.
