Dell MXL 10/40GbE DCBx Example

DCBx Example

The following figure shows how DCBX is used on an MXL Switch installed in a PowerEdge M1000e

chassis in which servers are also installed.

The external 40GbE ports on the base module (ports 33 and 37) of two switches are used for uplinks

configured as DCBx auto-upstream ports. The MXL switch is connected to third-party, top-of-rack (ToR)

switches through 40GbE uplinks. The ToR switches are part of a Fibre Channel storage network.

The internal ports (ports 1-32) connected to the 10GbE backplane are configured as auto-downstream

ports.

On the MXL switch, PFC and ETS use DCBx to exchange link-level configuration with DCBx peer devices.
