7.1 Assigning Port IP After Installation
By default, your machine is configured to obtain an automatic IP address via a DHCP server. In
some cases, the DHCP server may require the MAC address of the network adapter installed in
your machine.
 To obtain the MAC address:
Step 1. Open a CMD console
[Windows Server 2008 R2] - Click Start-->Run and enter CMD.
[Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2] - Click Start --> Task Manager-->File --> Run new task -->
and enter CMD.
Step 2. Display the MAC address as “Physical Address”
Configuring a static IP is the same for both IPoIB and Ethernet adapters.
 To assign a static IP address to a network port after installation:
Step 1. Open the Network Connections window. Locate Local Area Connections with Mellanox devices.
Changes made to the Windows registry happen immediately, and no backup is automati-
cally made.
Do not edit the Windows registry unless you are confident regarding the changes.
