X15 with a Broadcom P210p NIC

Trying to figure out if swapping the default Intel X550-T2 Dual 10G Ethernet for the Broadcom P210p 10Gb SFP+ Dual Port NIC will work with Unraid 7.3.1 and if LACP is configurable?

My understanding is that the driver for the Broadcom card is baked into the Linux kernel used for Unraid 7.3, so it should be plug and play. For LACP my understanding is that should also work, but I am not an Unraid expert. I think you configure that within the Unraid networking settings, not on the card. It’s a pretty mature standard, so should also “just work”, but you might come across a configuration quirk in your network. If it’s not obviously named, look for 802.3ad.

Looks like 45Homelabs R&D confirmed it will work during my build.
