Internally Managed vs. Externally Managed

The following table shows which switches come with a management CPU and which do not.

Managed switches can be upgraded from simple chassis management to full fabric management

by purchasing an additional license. For more information on buying a license see the user’s

manual.

Unmanaged switches are plug and play out of the box. All switches come with the latest firm-

ware burned on the Flash. Update the firmware on unmanaged switches in-band only. When new

firmware is available you will receive an email with the link to the Mellanox firmware download

site. The download site has the Mellanox firmware tool package and full instructions for updating

firmware.

All managed switches have internal chassis management and can manage up to 108 nodes.

FabricIT can support IB fabrics of up to 648 nodes. Managed switches need an initial configura-

tion before they will start working. See Table 3 for details.

Should your unmanaged switch have CONSOLE, Ethernet, and USB connectors, they will not

work. Only the I2C connector will work on unmanaged switches.

Table 3 - Switch Management by OPN

Family Managed /

Unmanaged Management Connections

IS5025 Unman-

aged No Management

Plug and play 

All firmware updates should be done in-band using Mellanox Firm-

ware Management Tools. 12C port access using MTUSB-1 device is

required for firmware updates if in-band burning is not possible.

IS5030 Managed RS232 cable DB9 to RJ45 included in the box to connect to host PC

for initial configuration of the switch. After initial configuration the

switch can be managed through the Ethernet using a remote connec-

tion.

This switch is capable of Fabric management for an unlimited num-

ber of nodes, with the purchase of Mellanox UFM.

IS5035 Managed RS232 cable DB9 to RJ45 included in the box to connect to host PC

for initial configuration of the switch. After initial configuration the

switch can be managed through the Ethernet using a remote connec-

tion.

This switch is capable of Fabric management for an unlimited num-

ber of nodes, with the purchase of Mellanox UFM.
