• "eth" - Always Ethernet
• "ib" - Always Infiniband
• "auto" - Link sensing mode - detect the port type based on the attached network type. If no link
is detected, the driver retries link sensing every few seconds.
The port link type can be configured for each device in the system at run time using the "/sbin/
connectx_port_config" script. This utility will prompt for the PCI device to be modified (if there is
only one it will be selected automatically). At the next stage the user will be prompted for the
desired mode for each port. The desired port configuration will then be set for the selected device.
Note: This utility also has a non-interactive mode:
/sbin/connectx_port_config [[-d|--device <PCI device ID>] -c|--conf
<port1,port2>]
