Mellanox SX6018 18-port switch.

The switch was manufactured for EMC and is running their OS.

It is NOT running Mellanox OS.

If you need a switch that runs Mellanox OS, do not buy this switch!

It looks like EMC OS has a lot of different commands and utilities.

Below is the boot-up snapshot.

This is just a sample output, we have a couple of the switches so the output may not be from the switch you are buying.

However, it will have the same - EMC ONLY - compatibility.

The switch has 2 power supplies.

It is possible to upgrade this switch to MLNOS but it is long and tortured  road, I don't advise going that way.
