Hello. I have a Distributed Switch with LLDP enabled. 2 Clusters are using this swtich. Both clusters are IBM 3850s with Emulex 10gb nics. One cluster LLDP works perfectly. The other cluster, every host displays "Link Layer Discovery Protocol is not available on this physical adapter".
The only difference I can tell between the hosts in the 2 clusters, is that even though each of the Emulex 10gb cards runs the "be2net" driver, the cards seem slightly different. So even though they listed as emulex 10gb from the vendor. Looking up the VID and DID they are different. One is an OCE10102, the other is an IBM Virtual Fabric.
I guess I dont understand, that since the drivers are the same LLDP should work? Correct?
Thanks!
