Example-1: This data model creates an LLDP Interface Policy named LLDP-ENABLED with LLDP transmission and reception enabled.

apic:
access_policies:
interface_policies:
lldp_policies:
- name: LLDP-ENABLED
admin_rx_state: true
admin_tx_state: true

Example-2: Starting with ACI release 6.0(3)+, LLDP supports the IEEE DCBX extension. DCBX enables devices to discover each other’s Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities, such as Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and to negotiate a consistent configuration. DCBX is a critical component in establishing a lossless Ethernet environment.

Please note that if the dcbxp_version option is included in data models for earlier releases, the deployment will fail.
