Step 1
In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, create:$ cat ifcfg-ib1
DEVICE=ib1
#HWADDR=80:00:00:49:FE:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:02:C9:03:00:0F:D8:5E
TYPE=InfiniBand
UUID=48c746a0-5536-408f-ae8f-c36be67c66c7
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.11.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Step 2
$ /etc/init.d/openibd restart$ /etc/init.d/network restart
Step 3
Verify the connectivity:$ ifconfig
# Check if ib1 is up and has IP assigned
$ ibdev2netdev
Set up another node but with different IP, e.g. 192.168.11.2. From this new node you can ping the older node by
$ ping 192.168.11.1
