cc [ flag... ] file... -lfcoe [ library... ] #include <libfcoe.h>
FCOE_STATUS FCOE_CreatePort( const FCOE_UINT8 *macLinkName, FCOE_UINT8 portType, FCOE_PORT_WWN pwwn, FCOE_PORT_WWN nwwn, FCOE_UINT8 promiscuous);
The name of the MAC link on which to create the FCoE port.
This parameter should always be FCOE_PORTTYPE_INITIATOR or FCOE_PORTTYPE_TARGET.
The Port WorldWideName to be used for the FCoE port. Fill the structure with zeros to let the fcoe driver generate a valid Port WWN from the MAC address of the underlying NIC hardware.
The Node WorldWideName to be used for the FCoE port. Fill the structure with zeros to let the fcoe driver generate a valid Node WWN from the MAC address of the underlying NIC hardware.
A non-zero value to enable promiscuous mode on the underlying NIC hardware. A value of 0 indicates use of the multiple unicast address feature of the underlying NIC hardware.
The FCOE_CreatePort() function creates an FCoE port over the specified MAC link.
The following values are returned:
The fcoe driver is busy and cannot complete the operation.
An existing FCoE port was found over the specified MAC link.
Failed to open fcoe device.
The specified Port WWN is same as the specified Node WWN.
MAC link name exceeds the maximum length.
The specified Port WWN is already in use.
The specified Node WWN is already in use.
The MTU size of the specified MAC link needs to be increased to 2500 or above.
Failed to open the specified MAC link.
Failed to create FCoE port on the specified MAC link.
Failed to get link information by macLinkName.
The API call was successful.
