Getting 'fcoemon: Failed to connect to lldpad' messages with FCoE configuration
Issue
-
As per the kernel documentation for FCoE configuration while configuring FCoE for
BCM57810
interfaces,lldpap
service is to be disabled since this adapter hasDCBX/LLDP
client on-chip:# lldptool set-lldp -i eth8 adminStatus=disabled adminStatus = disabled # lldptool get-lldp -i eth8 adminStatus adminStatus=disabled
But if the FCoE is configured without
lldpad
then/var/log/messages
file is continuously getting filled with following errors:fcoemon: error 111 Connection refused fcoemon: Failed to connect to lldpad
For
BCM57810
interfacesfcoemon
should not try to connect tolldpad
as the CNA adapter has h/w support forDCBX
client processing as documented in above kernel documentation.
