Port Type Management / VPI Cards Configuration
NVIDIA® ConnectX®-5 ports can be individually configured to work as InfiniBand or Ethernet ports. By default both ports are initialized as InfiniBand ports. If you wish to change the port type, use the mlxconfig script after the driver is loaded.
For further information on how to set the port type, please refer to the MFT User Manual (www.mellanox.con →Products →Software →InfiniBand/VPI Software →MFT - Firmware Tools).
