Upgrading Software
Software and firmware updates are available from the Mellanox Support website. Check that
your current revision is the same one that is on the Mellanox website. If not upgrade your soft-
ware. Copy the update to a known location on a Remote server within the user's LAN.
Use the CLI or the GUI in order to perform software upgrades. For further information please
refer to the MLNX-OS Software User Manual section Upgrading MLNX-OS® Software.
Be sure to read and follow all of the instructions regarding the updating of the software on your
system.
Managed systems do not require Firmware updating. Firmware updating is done through the
MLNX-OS management software. The system comes standard with a management software
module for system management called Mellanox Operating System (MLNX-OS). MLNX-OS®
is installed on all SwitchX®-2 based managed systems. MLNX-OS® includes a CLI, WebUI,
SNMP, system management software and IB management software (OpenSM).
The Ethernet ports for remote management connect to Ethernet systems. These sys-
tems must be configured to 100Mb/1 Gb auto-negotiation.
