HP 12-Port 4X Fabric Copper Switch Commands
Administrative Commands
Appendix B
280
The interface mgmt-ib command is used to enable and configure the IP addresses for the virtual port and
gateway on the fabric. Once configured, hosts connected to any HP Fabric Clustering System switch port that
run IPoIB may use the port and gateway to administer the system chassis (some gateway functions are not
supported by HP Fabric Clustering System).
The Management-InfiniBand port assignment is recognized throughout the entire fabric. Any HP Fabric
Clustering System host connected to any HP Fabric Clustering System interface port may access the
Management-InfiniBand port. Connected hosts may be disconnected and then reconnected to any other HP
Fabric Clustering System interface port without having to redefine the Management-InfiniBand port.
One Management-InfiniBand port may be assigned. The Management-InfiniBand interface must be
configured before you can use it.
You must configure the Management-InfiniBand port through the serial-console terminal.
Examples:
