US Patent 11909590 Configuring a network interface card

Examples described herein relate to configuring a Network Interface Card (NIC) of a compute node, such as a server. The NIC may receive an LLDP frame with a first configuration for the NIC. The first configuration is compared with a second configuration. The second configuration corresponds to an existing configuration of the NIC. In response to determining that the second configuration does not match the first configuration, the NIC is configured with the first configuration during a boot-up of the compute node.
