Trying to enable lldp on all my network devices.

But I don’t see lldp option on mellanox.

Thanks.

I don’t think my management wants to buy anything new for this set of switches.

But at least you solved the mystery.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Right, that makes sense.

Your switch is in InfiniBand mode only.

You need to install the Ethernet license to be able to convert ports from InfiniBand to Ethernet.

license install

Once you do that, you will need to change the system profile to Ethernet or VPI (allow InfiniBand and Ethernet).

switch (config) system profile eth-single-switch or

switch (config) system profile vpi-single-switch (if you need both InfiniBand ports and Ethernet ports)

reboot the switch. and you should be good.

to get the license you need to contact the Mellanox sales or Mellanox support.

I suggest you also get the User Manual, see Where can I find the Switch OS User Manual https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/where-can-i-find-the-switch-os-user-manual

Thanks,

Ophir.

switch > enable

switch # configure terminal

switch (config) # lldp

This commands enabled the lldp on the switch

Than use

switch (config) # show lldp …

and you get various of lldp options.

I hope that it helps.

[standalone: master] (config) # lldp

% Unrecognized command “lldp”.

Type “?” for help.

I don’t think it’s enabled at all to enable lldp. Any idea?

Is this switch configured as Ethernet switch?

What is the switch model?

can you run: show system profile

mti-mar-sx04 [my-new-domain: standby] (config) # show system profile

eth-single-switch

I’m pretty newb on Mellanox. I’m assuming switch. It’s in HA pair.

(config) # show system profile
