RHBA-2012:1002 - 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.
