3.9.1
Configuring the IPoIB Network Interface
Instructions are given here to manually configure your OpenFabrics IPoIB network
interface. This example assumes that you are using
sh
or
bash
as your shell, and
that all required InfiniPath and OpenFabrics RPMs are installed, and your startup
scripts have been run, either manually or at system boot.
For this example, we assume that your IPoIB network is 10.1.17.0 (one of the
networks reserved for private use, and thus not routable on the internet), with a /8
host portion, and therefore requires that the netmask be specified.
This example assumes that no hosts files exist, and that the host being configured
has the IP address 10.1.17.3, and that DHCP is not being used.
NOTE:
We supply instructions only for this static IP address case. Configuration
methods for using DHCP will be supplied in a later release.
Type the following commands (as root):
#
ifconfig ib0 10.1.17.3 netmask 0xffffff00
To verify the configuration, type:
#
ifconfig ib0
The output from this command should be similar to this:
ib0 Link encap:InfiniBand HWaddr
00:00:00:02:FE:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:10.1.17.3 Bcast:10.1.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:128
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Next, type:
#
ping -c 2 -b 10.1.17.255
The output of the
ping
command should be similar to that below, with a line for
each host already configured and connected:
WARNING: pinging broadcast address
PING 10.1.17.255 (10.1.17.255) 517(84) bytes of data.
174 bytes from 10.1.17.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=174 time=0.022 ms

64 bytes from 10.1.17.7: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.073 ms (DUP!)
The IPoIB network interface is now configured.
NOTE:
The configuration must be repeated each time the system is rebooted.
