Operating FCoE using bnx2fc
===========================
Broadcom FCoE offload through bnx2fc is full stateful hardware offload that
2. Configure the interfaces on which bnx2fc driver has to operate on.
Here are the steps to configure:
+
a. cd /etc/fcoe
b. copy cfg-ethx to cfg-eth5 if FCoE has to be enabled on eth5.
c. Repeat this for all the interfaces where FCoE has to be enabled.
5. "Symbolic Name" in 'fcoeadm -i' output would display if bnx2fc has claimed
the interface.
-Eg:
-[root@bh2 ~]# fcoeadm -i
+
+Eg::
+
+ [root@bh2 ~]# fcoeadm -i

6. Verify the vlan discovery is performed by running ifconfig and notice
-<INTERFACE>.<VLAN>-fcoe interfaces are automatically created.

Refer to fcoeadm manpage for more information on fcoeadm operations to
create/destroy interfaces or to display lun/target information.

====
** Broadcom FCoE capable devices implement a DCBX/LLDP client on-chip. Only one
LLDP client is allowed per interface. For proper operation all host software
based DCBX/LLDP clients (e.g. lldpad) must be disabled. To disable lldpad on a
-given interface, run the following command:
