FAQs

Technical Specifications

- Function: Gateway bridging between InfiniBand fabric and Ethernet networks
- InfiniBand side: 4X SDR/DDR signaling for low-latency HPC interconnects
- Ethernet side: 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (copper or fiber media, model dependent)
- Protocols: IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB), 802.1Q VLAN tag pass-through
- Performance: Hardware-accelerated bridging for low-latency throughput
- Redundancy: Supports chassis-level HA when paired with a second module
- Management: Configured via chassis supervisor (CLI, web, SNMP)
- Interoperability: Standards-based Ethernet and IB operation
- Use cases: Cluster-to-LAN/WAN connectivity, storage access, and management plane convergence
- Security: Role-based access with RADIUS/TACACS+ via chassis manager

FAQs

Q: Does this module support 10GbE on the Ethernet side?
A: Yes, it supports 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet; the actual media used depends on the optics/cables selected for the Ethernet ports.

Q: Can it carry VLAN-tagged traffic?
A: Yes. 802.1Q-tagged frames are supported on the Ethernet side (pass-through).

Q: How is it configured and monitored?
A: Through the chassis management plane (CLI/web) with SNMP monitoring.

Q: Can I deploy two modules for resilience?
A: Yes. Use a redundant pair to enable high availability at the chassis level.
