File Name Contents
lid IB LID. The address on the IB fabric, similar conceptually to an IP
address for TCP/IP. Local refers to it being unique only within a sin-
gle IB fabric.
mlid The Multicast Local ID (MLID), for IB multicast. Used for InfiniPath
ether broadcasts, since IB has no concept of broadcast.
guid The GUID for the InfiniPath chip, it is equivalent to a MAC address.
nguid The number of GUIDs that are used. If nguids=2 and two chips are
discovered, the first chip is assigned the requested GUID (from
eeprom, or ipath_sma), and the second chip is assigned GUID+1.
serial The serial number of the QLogic adapter.
unit A unique number for each card or chip in a system.
status The numeric version of the status_str file, described in
Table G-5.
