Description:
Info
There are network configurations where the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) needs to be disabled for HPE platforms configured with any of the HPE Marvell-based network adapters listed in the Scope section below. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) may not function correctly in certain environments that require Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) frames containing LACP information to be forwarded to the network stack. Therefore, LLDP needs to be disabled on the network adapter to avoid this condition. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is supported for the HPE Marvell-based network adapters that use the BNX2X drivers.
Scope
Any HPE platform configured with any of the following HPE Marvell-based network adapters with BNX2X drivers: HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530FLR-SFP+ Adapter (647581-B21) HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T 57810S Adapter (656596-B21) HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ 57810S Adapter (652503-B21) HPE Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530FLB Adapter (656590-B21) HPE Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530M Adapter (631884-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB Adapter (700741-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534M Adapter (700748-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB Adapter (766490-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port FLR-SFP+ 57810S Adapter (700751-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port FLR-T 57810S Adapter (700759-B21) HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 4-port FLR-T 57840S Adapter (764302-B21) HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630FLB Adapter (700065-B21) HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630M Adapter (700076-B21) Note: The network adapter(s) in this document are affected by a naming standard change for HPE products to help customers quickly and easily identify the specific vendor and model while configuring HPE platforms. For more information about the name changes and for identification purposes, refer to the following Customer Notice: HPE Network Adapters - Product Renaming Framework And Plan For HPE Network Adapters
Resolution
The LLDP settings and status for HPE Marvell-based network adapters that use the BNX2X driver can be viewed and modified in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) by performing the following steps: In the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU), go to System Utilities. Go to System Configuration. Select the appropriate network adapter. Select the "Device Hardware Configuration" Menu. Under LLDP Support, select "Disable".
