RHBA-2012:0694 - lldpad bug fix update

Synopsis

lldpad bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated lldpad packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The lldpad packages provides the Linux user space daemon and configuration tool for Intel's Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) agent with Enhanced Ethernet support.

This updated lldpad package includes fixes for the following bug:

  • The lldpad tool is initially invoked by initrd during the boot process to support Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) boot from a Storage Area Network (SAN). The runtime lldpad init script did not kill lldpad before restarting it after system boot. Consequently, lldpad could not be started normally after system boot. With this update, the lldpad init script now contains the "-k" option to terminate the first instance of lldpad that was started during system boot. (BZ#822377)

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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
