While searching the archives for info about udhcpc and IB support, I
came across one post that was relevant -
http://www.mail-archive.com/busybox@busybox.net/msg00747.html
I see no definitive resolution or answer, hence my post here. My
attempts at getting boot over infiniband working utilizing udhcpc are
similar to the initial post by Greg Kurtzer, and I loosely quote here:
"I noticed that the Infiniband driver is dropping the outgoing packets
from udhcpc.
If I statically define the IP address of ib0, communication works
perfect.
Is udhcpc supported over Infiniband?"
I can use the IPAPPEND function of PXELINUX which stores the initial
DHCPOFFER info in /proc/cmdline to configure the interface in init.
If I attempt to use udhcpc to configure the interface I see no packets
via tcpdump from the server side.
So, is udhcpc supported over Infiniband?
thanks in advance,
