Abstract:
1. In a computer network, a method comprising: a subnet manager coupled to an InfiniBand over Ethernet (IBOE) gateway in a network determining if a port of said IBOE gateway corresponds to one of one or more InfiniBand devices in an InfiniBand network or one or more Ethernet devices in an Ethernet network; in response to a determination that the port of said IBOE gateway corresponds to one or more InfiniBand devices in an InfiniBand network: in response to a determination that the port of said IBOE gateway corresponds to one or more Ethernet devices in an Ethernet network: adding one or more Ethernet MAC addresses of said one or more responding Ethernet devices to a LID routing table, wherein the LID routing table includes: assigning one or more LIDs to said one or more Ethernet devices; and configuring one or more virtual HCAs corresponding to said one or more Ethernet MAC addresses in said LID routing table.
