Congure the DCBX port role the interface uses to exchange DCB information.
Syntax
dcbx port-role {config-source | auto-downstream | auto-upstream | manual}

auto-upstream | manual} command.
Parameters
cong-source |
auto-downstream |
auto-upstream |
manual
Enter the DCBX port role, where:
• config-source: congures the port to serve as the conguration source on the
switch.
• auto-upstream: congures the port to receive a peer conguration. The
conguration source is elected from auto-upstream ports.
•
auto-downstream: congures the port to accept the internally propagated DCB
conguration from a conguration source.
• manual: congures the port to operate only on administer-congured DCB
parameters. The port does not accept a DCB conguration received form a peer or a
local conguration source.
