ESXI - LLDP Issues with Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810-C for QSFP

[RobWhite]

Driver Info:

Driver: icen
Firmware Version: 2.15 0x800049c3 1.2789.0
Version: 1.5.5.0

OS Version:

VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 17700523

I tried both the following commands and the protocol LLDP will not work. Verified that the connected switch is sending LLDP frames.  

• esxcli system module parameters set -m icen -p LLDP=0,0
• esxcli system module parameters set -m icen -p LLDP=1,1

Any thoughts on what I should try next?

Hello RobWhite,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. 

For us to further check the issue, please provide the following details.

1. Are you using an onboard E810 or a PCIe card?
2. Can you tell us why do you want to edit the LLDP settings?
3. If you are using a PCIe E810, can you send a photo focusing on the markings of the card on both sides?

If you have questions, please let us know. In case we do not hear from you, we will make a follow up after 3 workings days. Thank you.
