RHBA-2010:0857 - lldpad bug fix update
Synopsis
lldpad bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated lldpad package that fixes dcbx negotiation issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The lldpad package adds Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) support for all ports.
This update fixes the following bug:
Previously, lldpad failed to initiate a dcbx negotiation when a "link down" netlink event message was dropped or lost. As a result, a boot failure occurred and the system got suspended. With this update, lldpad dcbx negotiation works as expected. (BZ#639414)
All lldpad users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
Known issues: Multilib users with both 32bit and 64bit lldpad-devel installed should uninstall one of those packages without running %preun scripts prior to updating to 0.9.38-3.el6_0.1 or newer. E.g.:
rpm -e --noscripts lldpad-devel.i686
The removed package can be safely re-installed after the update.
