Switch Mellanox Infiniband Between IB / Ethernet / VPI Modes

How to check and switch Mellanox port link-layer modes.

Check current mode

Use ibstat and inspect Link layer for each port.

Switch mode

Use Mellanox tools (for example mlxconfig) to set port type and reboot/reinit if required.

Typical workflow:

  1. query current configuration
  2. set target port mode (IB/Ethernet)
  3. restart driver or reboot
  4. verify with ibstat
