VPI Gateway license for SX6036 details

Is there documentation on what is provided by the Gateway license for the SX6036. We have one in production running IB but only 8 ports and would like to use some of the remaining for 40GB Ethernet.

Thanks,

Todd

Hi Todd

Please refer to below article

  • Excerpt from above article

Solution Answer:

56GbE Etherent switch license is free of charge.

In case you own the below Mellanox Ethernet Switches (or newer):

  • SX1036
  • SX1024
  • SX1012
  • SX1400
  • SX1710

It is also applicable for the VPI switches running in Gateway or Ethernet switch mode:

  • SX6036
  • SX6018
  • SX6012

Hello,
How to actually get the license? - have two switches that we bought to use as a backup to the aging one for ur HPC cluster. Note that we’d need only eth 56Gbs mode.

Hi, Todd，
This is an IB switch, If you want use part of port as Ethernet port.
You need a VPI license.
But I don’t know we still sell this license, you need check with sales team.

Thanks,
