Testing connectivity with ping and rping

Load the NIC, iWARP & core RDMA modules as mentioned in
After which, you will see two or four ethernet interfaces for the Terminator device. Configure them
with an appropriate ip address, netmask, etc. You can use the Linux ping command to test basic
connectivity via the Terminator interface. To test RDMA, use the rping command that is included
in the librdmacm-utils RPM:
Run the following command on the server machine:
[root@host~]# rping -s -a server_ip_addr -p 9999
Run the following command on the client machine:
[root@host~]# rping -c –Vv -C10 -a server_ip_addr -p 9999
You should see ping data like this on the client:
ping data: rdma-ping-0: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqr
ping data: rdma-ping-1: BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrs
ping data: rdma-ping-2: CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrst
ping data: rdma-ping-3: DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstu
ping data: rdma-ping-4: EFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv
ping data: rdma-ping-5: FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw
ping data: rdma-ping-6: GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx
ping data: rdma-ping-7: HIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
ping data: rdma-ping-8: IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
