your switch according to the instructions in this document.

Externally Managed Switches
Externally managed switches, that is the SX6015 switches, do not have a management chip or
board within the switch. These switches do not get configured. On externally managed switches,
the CONSOLE, Ethernet, and USB connectors are not found do not work. Instead there is an I2C
connector.
The externally managed switches are Plug and Play and all firmware updates should be done in-
band. The I2C connection should only be used if the firmware image was corrupted to the point
that the regular firmware tools cannot successfully reburn the correct image.
You will need to confirm that your switch has the latest firmware. For externally managed
switches, confirm that the latest FW revision is installed on this device. Use the CLI to get the cur-
rently installed revision and then go to Mellanox.com to check the revision of the latest version.
For more information on how to get the current firmware version see
Section 8.4.1, “Current Firm-
ware Revision For Externally Managed Switches,” on page 50.
