Not sure if this is Proxmox related - but the log has lots of these messages:
Cannot send LLDP packet for <something>, Too big message

Any suggestion where this is coming from? An what to do with this?


With warm regards - Will

Not directly Proxmox related - as no Proxmox product ships/installs/uses lldpd:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Layer_Discovery_Protocol

However it is probably not the most uncommon usecase to install lldp on a hypervisor - and it seems this particular issue comes from vlan-aware bridges with too many vlans set https://github.com/lldpd/lldpd/discussions/501

it should be fixed upstream and I assume that it will eventually be fixed in debian upstream as well

I hope this helps!
