Related Commands

show interfaces ib

Notes

  • This command is backwards compatible so old configuration file containing this command with the old form (with legal bit mask) are still supported

  • Configuring more than one speed is possible by typing in consecutive speed names separated by spaces

  • If the speed-options list does not include SDR speed, it is configured automatically. However, if the force option is used (supported on FDR10 only), SDR is not configured.

  • If the other side of the link is a ConnectX®-3 device, to allow the link to raise in FDR speed, QDR speed must also be allowed

  • Force parameter is only allowed for SIB2 systems for EDR speed option.
