8.4 CLI commands
8.4.1 show switch-operating-mode
Use the show switch-operating-mode command to display the current operating mode:
C140A1# show switch-operating-mode
Switch-Operating-Mode : Smart Fabric Mode
8.4.2 show discovered-expanders
The show discovered-expanders command is only available on the MX9116n FSE and displays the
MX7116n FEMs service tag attached to the MX9116n FSEs and the associated port-group and virtual slot.

8.4.4 show lldp neighbors
The show lldp neighbors command shows information about LLDP neighbors. The iDRAC in
PowerEdge MX compute sleds produce LLDP topology packets that contain specific information that the
SmartFabric Services engine uses to determine the physical network topology regardless if a switch is in Full
Switch or SmartFabric modes. For servers connected to switches in SmartFabric mode, the iDRAC LLDP
topology feature is required. Without it, the fabric will not recognize the compute sled and the user will not be
able to deploy networks to the sled.
The iDRAC MAC address can be verified by selecting iDRAC Settings > Overview > Current Network
Settings from the iDRAC GUI of a compute sled. An example is shown as follows:
