    530sfp+ Cross Flashing Connectx-3 Pro

    So, basically the same as on BCM57810S. I bought 2 CONNECTX-4 LX from two eBay sources. Received a legit card and then… this. It seems I was hoping it it may find some use for RDMAv2 after a cross flash, oh well. Pretty sure the 544QSFP+ is what I was thinking about.

    530sfp+ Cross Flashing Connectx-3 Pro

    Being that the HPE 530SFP+ (DUAL SFP+) is hardware wise the same card as the Connectx-3 Pro's, do people find success cross flashing over to Mellanox MCX342A-XCPN, MCX342A-XCQN? HPE seems to still be supporting this product so curious if cross flashing seems to be the go-to route? If so, is...

    Am I to assume the engineering samples are of an alternative hardware solution? Possibly lacking certain features and documentation?

    Upgrade to 25GbE (Mellanox ConnectX-4)

    The latter, only way to achieve 25GBs there is direct connection between Connectx-4s. If your willing to change the switch, you would require a USW-Pro-Aggregation which has (28) 10G SFP+ ports and (4) 25G SFP28 ports. USW-AGG and USW-16POE (even the USW-PRO models) are all SFP+ (10GB) max.
