Step 4. At the CLI prompt, enter enable. This enters the privileged-execute mode.
HP-IB> enable
Step 5. Enter configure to enter the global-configuration mode.
HP-IB# configure
HP-IB(config)#
Step 6. Set the IP address and netmask. The following address is an example.
HP-IB(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet
HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0
Step 7. Set the default gateway address. This address is an example.
HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1
Step 8. Enable the management port
HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown
Step 9. Test IP connectivity by pinging the management station
HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# exit all
HP-IB> ping 10.10.0.3
sending 5 ICMP Echos to 10.10.0.10, 56 data bytes
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.000000/0.000000/0.000000 ms

Step 10. You must save the configuration persistently by using the copy command.
HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# exit
HP-IB# copy running-config startup-config
Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB)
When to use IPoIB
You should install IPoIB if you are planning to run TCP/IP and UDP/IP applications within your HP Fabric
Clustering System. The TCP/IP and UDP/IP applications can run over IPoIB interfaces. The IPoIB
implementation is based on the IETF IPoIB standards being drafted by IETF. For more information about the
IPoIB standards, visit the IETF web site at http://www.ietf.org.
