LLDP was turned off as we run lldpd daemon on our servers.
Those servers run Bird (Internet Router daemon) for establishing BGP peering
with
upstream switches and we need lldp packets to arrive on the host as we use them
for operation tasks. After the switch to this card, we found out that our tools
stopped working and after few hours of troubleshooting we realized that lldp
packets weren't arriving on the host, thus we turned off LLDP on the card by
running:
( for command in /sys/kernel/debug/i40e/*/command; do echo "lldp stop" >
${command}; done ) 2>/dev/null
before the start of lldpd daemon, here is the output of lldpctl, which implies
that LLDP is turned off in the firmware:
sudo lldpctl eth0
