72 PowerEdge FX2 – FN I/O Module – VLT Deployment Guide | Version 2.2
Note: When an FN IOM is connected to a Cisco Nexus in the default state, a number of DCBX (Data
Center Bridging Exchange) error messages are logged and shown on the FN IOM serial console
each time a port or port channel is shutdown or brought up. To suppress these messages, either
configure DCBX on the FN IOM and Nexus switches (which is out of the scope of this document) or
disable DCB on the FN IOM with the command: Dell(conf)#no dcb enable
