Issue/Introduction

  • In the vCenter UI, the LLDP information for uplinks is not visible under 'Physical adapters' tab as shown below:
  • Checked the DVS configuration and the LLDP is configured with 'Both' operation as seen below:

Environment

VMware ESXi

Cause

  • In the packet captures performed on affected uplinks, it was observed that LLDP packets were leaving the host:
  • This means that ESXi host is able to forward the LLDP information and somewhere in physical network , the LLDP config is not enabled.

Resolution

Engage physical network team to check in the physical layer that if LLDP is configured correctly at hardware, physical switch, etc.
