There are multiple errors in the system log that are usually related to a mismatch in the DCB version of the switch and host.
Syslog reports the following: Feb 18 15:03:54 h6 fcoemon: fcm_process_ieee_msg: Unexpected command type 9 Feb 18 15:03:54 h6 fcoemon: fcm_process_ieee_msg: Unexpected command type 19 Results in the following Feb 18 15:04:00 h6 systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: Start and stop the lldp agent daemon... LLDP agent is dead therefore FCoE will not function now. Later in the syslog I notice multipath driver failing as well. Please tell us: 1. Physical Switch make and model information. 2. Switch Firmware version. 3. Switchport configuration information (where the host server is connected to). 4. Switch running configuration. 5. Switch DCB configuration. You may want to open a case on e1000.sourceforge.net and attach the logs there.

I am hoping you can tell me if this is supposed to work at all and give me a hand because I'm currently out of ideas.
