RHBA-2012:1002 - 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 provide the Linux user space daemon and configuration tool for Intel's Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) agent with Enhanced Ethernet support.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, dcbtool commands could, under certain circumstances, fail to enable the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) application type-length-values (TLV) for a selected interface during the installation process. Consequently, various important features might have not been enabled (for example priority flow control, or PFC) by the Data Center Bridging eXchange (DCBX) peer. To prevent such problems, application-specific parameters (such as the FCoE application TLV) in DCBX are now enabled by default. (BZ#828684)

All users of lldpad are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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
