4.

Check whether the Ethernet driver has been loaded with:

$ lsmod | grep ipath_ether 

5.

Verify that the driver is up with:

$ ifconfig -a

The following procedure causes the ipath_ether network interfaces to be 

automatically configured the next time you reboot the system. These instructions 
are for the 

SLES 10 

distribution.

Servers typically have two Ethernet devices present, numbered as 0 (

eth0

) 

and 1 (

eth1

). This example creates a third device, 

eth2

.

As the root user, perform the following steps:

1.

Be sure that the ipath_ether module is loaded:

# lsmod | grep -q ipath_ether || modprobe ipath_ether

2.

Determine the MAC address that will be used:

# sed ’s/^\(..:..:..\):..:../\1/’ \
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ib_ipath/00/guid

The output should appear similar to this (six hex digit pairs, separated by 
colons):

00:11:75:04:e0:11

„

When multiple QLogic HCAs are present, the configuration for 

eth3

, 

eth4

, and so on follow the same format as for adding 

eth2

 in the 

following example. Similarly, in 

, add one to the unit number 

(replace

.../00/guid

 with 

/01/guid

 for the second QLogic interface), 

and so on.

„

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier attached 
to most forms of networking equipment. 

 determines the MAC 

address to use, and will be referred to as $MAC in the subsequent steps. 
$MAC must be replaced in each case with the string printed in 

When cutting and pasting commands such as the above from PDF 
documents, the quotes are special characters and may not be 
translated correctly.
