int FCOE_CreatePort(
const char *macLinkName,
int portType,
struct fcoe_port_wwn pwwn,
struct fcoe_port_wwn nwwn,
int promiscuous);
PARAMETERS
macLinkName The name of the MAC link on which to create the FCoE
port.
portType This parameter should always be
FCOE_PORTTYPE_TARGET.
pwwn 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.
nwwn 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.
promiscuous 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.
