4.2.3 QLogic InfiniServ Driver: Configuring IPoIB
In this section, we describe how to configure a network interface on a Windows blade using
the QLogic InfiniServ drivers that will send IP traffic of the InfiniBand interfaces of the HCA.
Because this method uses the InfiniBand ports on the HCA, you are limited by the number of
HCA ports on the expansion card (two in this case). Because the IP traffic is over the
InfiniBand interfaces and not translated into true Ethernet traffic, the Ethernet bridge is not
