Configuring iSCSI priority bits

The iSCSI priority bit setting is a bitmap setting where each bit position stands for a priority. When you set a bit for a particular priority, that priority setting is applied to the iSCSI traffic (that is, the incoming iSCSI traffic will have that priority). The default value is 4.

The iSCSI TLV is used only to advertise the iSCSI traffic configuration parameters to the attached CEE enabled servers and targets. No verification or enforcement of the usage of the advertised parameters by the iSCSI server or target is done by the switch.

To configure the iSCSI priority bits, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter LLDP configuration mode.

switch(config)#protocol lldp

3. Configure the iSCSI priority bits.

switch(conf-lldp)#iscsi-priority-bits list 2 3

4. Advertise the TLV.

switch (conf-lldp)#advertise dcbx-isci-app-tlv

Configuring LLDP profiles

You can configure up to 64 profiles on a switch, but the best practice is to limit this to one profile for each port. Using the no profile name command deletes the entire profile.

To configure LLDP profiles, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter LLDP configuration mode.

switch(config)#protocol lldp

3. Configure the profile name.

switch(conf-lldp)#profile UK_LLDP_IT

4. Specify a description for the profile.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#description standard_profile_by_Jane

5. Enable the transmitting and receiving of LLDP frames.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#no mode

6. Configure the transmission frequency of LLDP updates.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#hello 10

7.Configure the hold time for receiving devices.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#multiplier 2

8. Advertise the optional LLDP TLVs.
