Administering IPoIB Devices

For every HCA, one physical data link per port is created by default. The physical links can be used as administrative and observability data points. You can create IB partition links over the physical data links, similar to a creating VNICs over a NIC. Physical data links are not used for data transfers, thus, plumbing and assigning IP addresses is not supported on these links. Data is transferred on the partition data links.

For information about configuring your network components, see Administering TCP/IP Networks, IPMP, and IP Tunnels in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
