Verifying IPoIB Functionality

To verify your configuration and your IPoIB functionality, perform the following steps:

Step 1

Step 2

Verify the IPoIB functionality by using the

ifconfig

command.

The following example shows how two IB nodes are used to verify IPoIB functionality. In the following
example, IB node 1 is at 192.168.0.1, and IB node 2 is at 192.168.0.2:

host1#

ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.252.0

host2#

ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.252.0

Step 3

Enter the

ping

command from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2.

The following example shows how to enter the

ping

command:

host1#

ping -c 5 192.168.0.2
