Management and Tools Overview Rev 1.3
4 Management and Tools Overview
You will need the MLNX-OS package or Mellanox UFM™ to update firmware for this switch.
The MLNX-OS package can be downloaded from:
http://www.mellanox.com.
=> Products > Management Software > MLNX-OS.
The Mellanox UFM Management software is also an option to more closely manage your fabric, switches and nodes.
The switch can be managed either remotely, or Out-of-Band using MLNX-OS.
4.1
Chassis Management Using the MLNX-OS™ Software
The SX10XX switches come standard with a management software module for chassis management called Mellanox Operating System (MLNX-OS). MLNX-OS is installed on all SwitchX based managed switch systems. MLNX-OS includes a CLI and chassis management software .
The Ethernet ports for remote management connect to Ethernet switches. These switches must be configured to 100M/1G auto-negotiation.
4.2
Configuring the Switch for the First Time
Unmanaged (Externally managed) switches do not get configured. The CONSOLE,
Ethernet, and USB connectors are not found on unmanaged switches. Instead there is an I2C connector.
The port labelled CONSOLE must be connected to a local host PC. This must be used the first time the switch is connected. This must be done before any remote management is available.
Hook up the supplied harness cable (HAR00028) from the connector labelled CONSOLE to the
DB9 connector of the local host PC.
