3) Create a port-profile manager for LLDPAD to map port-profile to internal protocol settings. The mapping would resolve VDP
parameters,
for example, given a port-profile. Like:
port-profile: "joes-garage" ---> VSI Manager ID: 15 VSI Type ID: 12345 VSI Type ID Ver: 1
Sounds like this would require a whole new management API to get this mapping onto the machine and that probably isn't anywhere in place today...
Yes, that's what's required for step 3).
The other way around would be easier. If there was an otherwise-forbidden separator character we could have the 15/12345/1 and assume that if '/' is found we go for 802.1Qbg, 802.Qbh otherwise. Stefan
Comments?
802.1Qbg + 802.1Qbh => 802.1Qbi :-)
Ah, that reminds me I forgot one other good quality about my proposal:
8) Allows pre-standards (bg and bh) to change, but the implementation details are hidden from the netlink API.
