Trying to enable lldp on all my network devices.
But I don’t see lldp option on mellanox.
What can I do? upgrade? etc?

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,

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
