On HPE platforms configured with any of the HPE Broadcom-based network adapters listed in the Scope section below, there are network configurations where Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) needs to be disabled. LLDP is enabled by default for network adapters using the BNXT driver.The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Active/Standby bonding may not function correctly in certain environments that require LLDP frames containing Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) information to be forwarded to the network stack. To avoid this condition, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) must be disabled for the network adapter.The feature for disabling the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) was initially included in the Broadcom bnxtnvm utility, but it is also included NICCLI utility.
Any of the following HPE Broadcom-based network adapters with the BNXT driver:HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port FLR-SFP28 BCM57414 Adapter (817709-B21)HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 BCM57414 Adapter (817718-B21)HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T BCM57416 Adapter (813661-B21)HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port FLR-T BCM57416 Adapter (817721-B21)HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 537SFP+ FLR Adapter (ALOM)HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port FLR-SFP+ BCM57414 Adapter (P08440-B21)HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ BCM57414 Adapter (P08421-B21)Broadcom BCM57412 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ Adapter for HPE (P26259-B21)Broadcom BCM57412 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ OCP3 Adapter for HPE (P26256-B21)Broadcom BCM57414 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE (P26262-B21)Broadcom BCM57414 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 OCP3 Adapter for HPE (P10115-B21)Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T Adapter for HPE (P26253-B21)Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T OCP3 Adapter for HPE (P10097-B21)Broadcom BCM57504 Ethernet 10/25Gb 4-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE (P26264-B21)Broadcom BCM57504 Ethernet 10/25Gb 4-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE (P26269-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.

If the in-distro (in-box) driver is installed and running, the NICCLI utility may not work as expected.After making any change using the NICCLI utility, a reboot is required to enable the change.The bnxtnvm utility is obsolete and was replaced with the NICCLI utility.
