Nice.. that sounds better... MPO 8 fiber or 12 fibre ?Mellanox MC2207411-SR4L, available for $30 each on ebay
8.Nice.. that sounds better... MPO 8 fiber or 12 fibre ?
Hi ok.. because we have here 40GB gbic mpo from other manufacturer and the cable that came with them was 8 fibre, for 40GB.. so i guess it needs to run on 12Fiber mpo.. i will check out in our regions see if we have some cards.. i have some 100G milijet gbics here which i have tested in 2 different dell servers with MC354ECAT cards firmware upgraded and ethernet mode enabled on them.. they linked 40GB ofcourse.. on autonegociation.. but will try to get hold of the correct mellanox gbic.. which seem to be more cheaper here then the DAC mellanox cables..For these optics you want to be safe and use MPO-12. They don't look like the 40G Brocade optics I have that only require MPO-8.
I am not home so can't post the pictures of my Brocades nor could I confirm MPO-8 will work with MC2207411-SR4Ls. They are also spec'ed to 30m distance. https://network.nvidia.com/related-docs/prod_cables/PB_LinkX_AOC_Transceivers_QSFP_SFP_SFP+.pdf

Hiya interesting so the brocade can also run on this switches?The MC2207411-SR4L works with MPO-8 cables. I've also attached a picture of a Brocade 57-1000294-01. My other Brocade transceivers have a noticeable gap in the middle meaning it doesn't require an MPO-12 cable.Code:root@X9DRi:~# ethtool enp130s0 Settings for enp130s0: Supported ports: [ FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 10000baseKX4/Full 40000baseCR4/Full 40000baseSR4/Full 56000baseCR4/Full 56000baseSR4/Full 1000baseX/Full 10000baseCR/Full 10000baseSR/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 56000baseCR4/Full 56000baseSR4/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 56000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: None PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Supports Wake-on: d Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00000014 (20) link ifdown Link detected: yes root@X9DRi:~# ethtool -m enp130s0 Identifier : 0x0d (QSFP+) Extended identifier : 0x00 Extended identifier description : 1.5W max.

Hi All,
I just bought the Mellanox SX6036 but the image is
Running system image: PPC_M460EX 3.4.3002 2015-07-30 20:13:15 ppc
Could you please share the firmware again?
and do you have the tutorial or the link to upgrade the firmware?
Thank you.
Patheven if you're not familiar with it, it's a good idea to update it through the CLI.
