its more of FDR infiniband and if you HAVE the ethernet license you can get 56gbe as well, the ethernet licensing and the L3 capabilities are not unlocked by default. Do you know what version of the MLNX OS you have?
Since you have 50gbe NICs why don't you go for something like a Mellanox SX6036 switch? (<$200 on ebay) Its 40gbe if you have the "license" and every DAC cable I have gotten has been fine with infiniband or ethernet for that switch and I have a few optical ones from FS.com
I'm willing to try this out on a VM from my server or another device specifically for this it would be kinda cool to see if I can get that to work. Thank you for all your help on that I'll reply to this more if I can find anything.
Yes my switch would unfortunately fall into that category (SX 6036), unfortunately even for the relay always-on it won't let me enable that either and this problem seems quite silly... Why would they lock down DHCP helper of all things
As far as I can tell it doesn't actually enable it and I'm not familiar with that error as all the documentation shows it to be pretty painless to enable (its not).
I have a couple VLANs and I wanted to set an upstream DHCP relay on them so I could point it to a DHCP server I'm hosting, but the switch is giving me an error if I try to enable it at all.
This is said throughout when I just try to enable it or point it to a helper address at all, I can go...
Alright it is working now! I set the static routes on both the router for the VLANs and the in the CLI set the route from VLAN 999 to the router. Only issue is now the speeds are awful.
It does look a lot cleaner after moving the mgmt0 off this current subnet and it looks like the route from vlan999 is actually correct, but I cannot get past it to reach 10.0.0.1
Both sides can ping 10.0.0.99 though, which is good I guess. I went ahead and put a static route on my router and...
I'm having issues routing from the switch to the router/ISP. I have 2 VLANs created to separate the Workstations and the Servers, and while Inter-VLAN routing is working, getting out of the switch and to the router is not working. I cannot create a routerport on this switch as it says the device...
I tried quite a lot of different combinations even in QDR/FDR/ETH it still caps around 20 ish. Even when directly connect from card to card I'm not really sure what is wrong. Tried different drivers firmwares abd using my xeon platforms with a lot of available pcie lanes.
Hey guys, as the title states my 4036e, which only served as the subnet manager and bridge from IB to ethernet has now finally kicked the bucket. I was wondering of there is anyone out there has has information on how to get an ethernet gateway license for the SX6036. I tried contacting Mellanox...
