Step 2.
Right-click on the Mellanox ConnectX VPI network adapter and left-click Properties. Select the
Port Protocol tab from the Properties sheet.
Note:
The "Port Protocol” tab is displayed only if the NIC is a VPI (IB and ETH). If the NIC
is either only IB or ETH, the tab will not be shown.
Note:
The figure below is an example of the displayed Port Protocol sheet for a dual-port
VPI adapter card.
Step 3.
In this step, you can perform two different functions: (a) Choose the desired port protocol for the
available port(s), and (b) activate or deactivate the WSD, ND, and/or SDP ULPs.
Note:
IB
must
be always the first port in Port 1. If you choose ETH as your first port in Port
1, then the second port in Port 2 can be only ETH
Note:
WSD is not supported in Windows 7. Consequently, on this OS the WSD checkbox is
grayed out and cannot be selected.

FlexBoot
FlexBoot enables remote boot over Ethernet or InfiniBand using Boot over InfiniBand (BoIB),
Boot over Ethernet (BoE), or Boot over iSCSI (Bo-iSCSI). This technology is based on the Pre-
boot Execution Environment (PXE) standard specification, and FlexBoot software is based on the
open source EtherBoot/gPXE project (see www.etherboot.org). For more information go to
