Assigning Port IP After Installation

By default, your machine is configured to obtain an automatic IP address via a DHCP server. In some cases, the DHCP server may require the MAC address of the network adapter installed in your machine.

To obtain the MAC address:

1. Open a CMD console
   [Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2/ 2016]: Click Start → Task Manager → File → Run new task → and enter CMD.

2. Display the MAC address as “Physical Address”

   > ipconfig /all
           

Configuring a static IP is the same for both IPoIB and Ethernet adapters.

To assign a static IP address to a network port after installation:

1. Step 1.Open the Network Connections window. Locate Local Area Connections with Mellanox devices.

   

2. Right-click a Mellanox Local Area Connection and left-click Properties.

   

3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the scroll list and click Properties.

4. Select the “Use the following IP address:” radio button and enter the desired IP information.
   

   

5. Click OK.

6. Close the Local Area Connection dialog.

7. Verify the IP configuration by running ‘ipconfig’ from a CMD console.
