Configuration mismatch errors on Dell Switch

Hey guys,

So we have a couple of S4810's older dell switches and the old Network administrator upgraded them to 9.11 FTOS version. Which is really new. These S4810's usually ship with 8.3 which as been so solid for me.

Anyways, so I keep getting these error messages

Apr 13 16:10:35 %STKUNIT0-M:CP %LLDP-3-MAC_PHY_CFG: Configuration mismatch with neighbor on interface Te 0/43

I get them across all active ports, between intel onboard 1gig nics and myricom 10 gig nics. Something is wrong with 9.11 FTOS I suspect. I've done some research and when people complain of these messages, the dell service rep takes them to private messaging.

We don't have a support contract with dell.

The problem is that especially the ten gig nic cards are experiencing discarded packets. Many thousands of them.

Here is an output for a ten gig interface, I've also tried with supported SFPs and get the same errors:
