APP - Show / manipulate APP TLV configuration
Contents
Arguments
app Configures a local application data field using the three parameters: priority (prio), selector
(sel), and protocol (pid). The -d option can be provided to remove an entry which matches the
three parameters.
Description
The APP TLV is an informational TLV and will advertise the current configured application table. If the
peer APP TLV and a local APP TLV match the same selector and protocol field the local parameter is used.
Example & Usage
Configure ISCSI application for priority 4 on eth2lldptool-T-ieth2-VAPPapp=4,2,3260
Configure FCoE application for priority 3 on eth2lldptool-T-ieth2-VAPPapp=3,1,35078
Remove FCoE application for priority 3 on eth2lldptool-T-ieth2-VAPP-dapp=3,1,35078
Display locally configured application table on eth2lldptool-t-ieth2-VAPP-capp
Display last transmitted APP TLV on eth2lldptool-t-ieth2-VAPPName

Synopsis

Theory Of Operations
The APP TLV is an informational TLV for most end stations. It is not expected that setting APP data
should be required. Peer data will be processed and added to the application data table by default
assuming there does not already exist a local entry with matching selector and priority fields.
By adding APP data to the application table it is available for applications, eg iscsid, to query.
Applications query for a specific protocol and selector and may use this data to map traffic to the
corresponding traffic class.
