Managing SAN Devices and Multipathing in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Configure the LLDP Daemon

1. Install the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) daemon.

   # pkg install lldp

2. Configure the LLDP agent.

   # lldpadm set-ap -p mode=both net10
   # lldpadm set-ap -p dcbx-version=cee net10

   ---

   Note -  For some switches, you must explicitly set the dcbx-version value to cee on Oracle Solaris to enable CEE.

   ---

3. Check whether the value of the EFFECTIVE field is cee.

   # lldpadm show-ap -p mode,dcbx-version net10
   AGENT      PROPERTY     PERM VALUE       EFFECTIVE   DEFAULT     POSSIBLE
   net10      mode         rw   both        both        disable     txonly,rxonly,
                                                                    both,disable
   net10      dcbx-version rw   cee         cee         auto        auto,ieee,cee

   Once the FCoE configuration is complete, you can create the FCoE port.

   If the FCoE port is not online, you can troubleshoot by verifying and configuring switch information. For more information, see Verifying and Configuring an FCoE Switch.
