Setting the IB Interface Speed
InfiniBand interface port speeds can be configured to 1x or 4x.
Explicitly Configure IB Interface Speed
To explicitly set the speed for the InfiniBand interface ports as 1x or 4x:
1. Confirm that you are using the appropriate InfiniBand cable for the speed you intend to set.
For example, if you intend to set the speed as 4x, it is imperative that you confirm you are using a
4x cable. Using a 1x cable on a 4x speed InfiniBand interface will cause serious performance
issues.
2. (Optional) Disable auto-negotiate if it is currently enabled. The interface speed cannot be
configured as long as auto-negotiate is enabled.
Example
Topspin-360> enable
Topspin-360# config
Topspin-360(config) interface ib all no auto-negotiate
Topspin-360(config-if-ib-1/1-1/12)#
