Q
If you are using DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses), add these lines
to the file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Proceed to Step 6.
If you are you are using static IP addresses (not DHCP), add these lines to the
file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=static
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
NETWORK=192.168.5.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.5.255
IPADDR=192.168.5.211
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Make sure that you substitute your own IP address for the sample IPADDR
shown here. The BROADCAST, NETMASK, and NETWORK lines need to
match for your network.
6. To verify that the configuration files are correct, you will normally now be able
to run the commands:
# ifup eth2
# ifconfig eth2
Note that it may be necessary to reboot the system before the configuration
changes will work.

OpenFabrics Configuration and Startup
In the prior InfiniPath 1.3 release the InfiniPath (ipath_core) and OpenFabrics
(ib_ipath) modules were separate. In this release there is now one module, ib_ipath,
which provides both low level InfiniPath support and management functions for
OpenFabrics protocols. The startup script for ib_ipath is installed automatically as
part of the software installation, and normally does not need to be changed.
The IPoIB network interface and OpenSM components of OpenFabrics can be
configured to be on or off. IPoIB is off by default; OpenSM is on by default
IPoIB and OpenSM configuration is explained in greater detail in the following
sections.
NOTE: The following instructions work for FC4, SUSE 9.3, SLES 9, and SLES 10.
