3 Externally Managed Switches
Externally managed (unmanaged) switches are plug and play out of the box. All switches come
with the latest firmware (FW) burned on the Flash. Updating the FW on externally managed
switches can be performed in-band only. When new FW is available, an email notification is sent
to registered users with the link to the Mellanox FW download site. The download site has the
Mellanox FW tool package and full instructions for updating FW.
Externally managed switches must be managed by management software installed on a node or on
another managed switch that can be anywhere in the fabric. This can be OpenSM, Mellanox
FabricIT™ EFM, Mellanox UFM™, or a third party Subnet Manager.
