CATC IBTrainer InfiniBand Exerciser, August 2002
In addition to IBA, SMP and GMP packets, you can create packets of the
following types:
• RAW packet
RAW packets may be routed on InfiniBand fabrics but do not contain
InfiniBand transport headers. From the InfiniBand point of view, these
packets contain only InfiniBand routing headers, payload and CRC.
• IPv6 packet
IPv6 packets are RAW packets containing IPv6 transport headers.
You can customize a newly created packet before sending it.
“Configuring Outgoing Packets to Be Transmitted” on page 36 tells you
how.
N O T E Before sending a packet to the DUT, make sure that the necessary link
state of the IBTrainer has been set up. Refer to “Controlling the Link
State of the IBTrainer” on page 14 for more information.
Configuring Outgoing Packets to Be
Transmitted
After you have created a new packet or selected a pre-defined one, you
can:
• Change the properties of the packet, as described in the InfiniBand
specification.
InfiniBand packet properties are described in detail in the Properties
and Programmatic Settings section of the API Reference.
• Set advanced attributes.
In addition to pure InfiniBand packet properties, the software sends
commands in form of attributes to the DUT. These attributes are
aimed at testing the DUT and are described in detail in “Advanced
Attributes” on page 39 .
