We have 8 brand new HPE DL380 Gen10 servers. Each of these servers has two HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ Adapters. One is embedded and one on a PCI card. This card is based on the Intel X710 controller
HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ Adapter OID8245220 | HPE™
We hooked two DAC cables, one from each card to our Juniper switch. The two ports on the Juniper switch are standard access ports. After installed the HPE customized version of ESXi 6.5 U1 we went into the console and added the two nics. We put in an IP address, gateway, mask, and DNS servers and then rebooted the host. During reboot we had a continuous ping going to the IP address of the ESXi management interface. The ping returned part way through the boot process and after fully booted the ping stopped. If I remove one of the 10Gb nics from the management network, the ping returns. If I use two of the 1Gb interfaces on this server which are based on a Broadcom chipset, the management interface works fine. The server has had all of its firmware upgraded. We are running driver version 1.5.8 and firmware version 10.2.5. The firmware came from here, I think it corresponds to VMWare's version of firmware 6.00

I have a ticket opened with HPE but wanted to find out if Intel might have a solution for this
