Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB)
In order to use the Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) the same patches need to be installed on each
server used for IPoIB in the HP Fabric Clustering System. For current patch requirement , see the latest HP
Fabric Clustering System for InfiniBand Support Matrix on http://www.docs.hp.com.
The ifconfig command provides information about the IPoIB interface, enables or disables an IPoIB
interface, configuring the link to the HP Fabric Clustering System.
Checking the IPoIB Interface Status

Syntax and example: ifconfig lan9000
Output Example:
lan9000: flags=842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
inet 192.32.32.255 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.32.32.255
Enable the IPoIB Interface

Syntax: ifconfig
<ipoib_interface>
[address] [netmask]
up
Example: ifconfig lan9000 192.32.32.255 up
There is no direct output from this command.
To confirm that the interface is UP, run the ifconfig lan9000 command again.
