Link Discovery Protocol options for vSwitch in esxi 6.7.0 on BE6000

[PACC]

Hey all,

Have a BE6000 running esxi 6.7.0 for CUCM.  The Link Discovery Protocol option only has CDP.  The BE6000 is currently connected to a Cisco C9300 switch, but I want to connect it to an Extreme 3750.  I enabled CDP on the ports on the Extreme 3750 but there is no connectivity.  Is it somehow possible to enable LLDP as an option?  Or maybe there is some way I don't know to configure the Extreme Switch ports (current sharing config below).

enable sharing 1:13 grouping 1:13,2:13 algorithm address-based L2 lacp

Hi,

Looking at the vSwitch CDP setting - You are in listen mode.
The vSwitch will not be sending CDP packets/imfo the the physical switch.

IMO you should set this to "Both" then you will be sending and recicving CDP info.

Look at this link.

Hope this helps

Thanks @acampbell will give that a try tonight.

Changed the mode from Listen to Both and all good!
