1 Introduction
Mellanox Operating System (MLNX-OS) enables the management and configuration of Mella-
nox Technologies' SwitchX silicon based switch platforms. MLNX-OS supports the Virtual Pro-

technology providing the user with greater flexibility.
MLNX-OS provides a full suite of management options, including support for Mellanox's Uni-
fied Fabric Manager® (UFM), SNMP V1,2,3, and web user interface. In addition, it incorporates
a familiar industry-standard CLI, which enables administrators to easily configure and manage
