That was super interesting and the first time I've seen a video talk about a BMC-enabled switch. Nice to see the BMC is on a daughter board. I guess most high speed switches will have BMCs from this point on. Celestica's current lineup all have BMCs. As "first generation" BMC-enabled products there are no references for DMTF PLDM or NC-SI support in their datasheets, which will probably come in future generations.

The one thing about Broadcom switches is Cumulus support stopped at 4.3. All newer versions support only Mellanox Spectrum ASICs. You can thank the Mellanox acquisition by Nvidia for that.
