interface mgmt-ib
Synopsis: The interface mgmt-ib command is used to enable and configure the IP
addresses for the virtual port and gateway on the InfiniBand fabric. Once configured, hosts
connected to any InfiniBand switch port that run IPoIB may use the port and gateway to
administer the chassis.
Syntax: interface mgmt-ib
Command Modes: Privileged-execute mode.
Configuration Interface Management IB mode (config-if-mgmt-ib).
Privilege Level: Unrestricted read-write user.
Usage Guidelines: Use this command to enter the Configure IB Management mode, which
will enable you to connect you to control the virtual port and gateway of the InfiniBand fabric
(some gateway functions are not supported by HP InfiniBand).
The Management-InfiniBand port provides Telnet, SSH, and Element Manager access from
InfiniBand hosts running IPoIB that are connected to any of the InfiniBand ports on the InfiniBand
interface (Element Manager GUI is not supported in initial release of HP InfiniBand).
The Management-InfiniBand port assignment is recognized throughout the entire InfiniBand
fabric. Any InfiniBand host connected to any InfiniBand interface port may access the
Management-InfiniBand port. Connected hosts may be disconnected and then reconnected to
any other InfiniBand 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.
Use the gateway command after this command to configure the IP address of the gateway for
the Ethernet Management port. Theno gateway ipcommand configures the default gateway
IP address of the out-of-band Ethernet Management port (some gateway functions are not
supported by HP InfiniBand).
NOTE: You must configure the Management-InfiniBand port through the serial-console terminal.
Example:
HP-IB# configure
HP-IB(config)# interface mgmt-ib
HP-IB(config-if-mgmt-ib)# gateway 10.3.0.94

ip
Synopsis: The ip command configures the IP address and subnet mask for a virtual in-band
InfiniBand port.
Syntax: ipip mask
no ipip mask
ip is a static address that will be used by InfiniBand hosts running IPoIB to connect to the virtual
Management-InfiniBand port. Once enabled, hosts on the network use this address to run CLI,
Element Manager, and SNMP software, as well as other connected hosts running IP or IPoIB.
