We have the management network on the 1/10Gb ports on the SX1024, and then
the 40Gb on the SX1024 is the secondary setup for main processing. I'm
booting on the 1Gb port on the management network. So everything is on the
SX1024. :(

I've heard that there may be another method (REST api?) to get to the MAC
data, and I have a query into Mellanox on this. I wondered if someone may
have gone down this route already. If not, I'll report what I hear about
the other "method" just to spread the word.

Are there any other connections (management cable or otherwise)?  If by
chance the service processor is connected via some other channel, you may
be able to use that for discovery instead.

Mellanox has declined our request to report mac address forwarding
databases on their ethernet products (they did not disagree with the
feature, just did not think they could justify the development investment
to make it happen).
