4. Plumb each of the IB devices.
To do this, type the following command for each IB-EM port in the system:
# ifconfig ibdn plumb host-ipv4-address up
where
IPv4 address for the device.
If you are using IPv6, use the following command instead:
# ifconfig ibdn inet6 plumb host-ipv6-address up
5. Verify that the devices are plumbed.
To do this, type the command:
# ifconfig -a
The output includes information on the IB devices.
# ifconfig -a

6. Check that data can be send over the InfiniBand link.
Use the ping command to send ICMP (ICMP6) ECHO_REQUEST packets and
receive ICMP (ICMP6) ECHO_RESPONSE packets between InfiniBand hosts. For
example:
# ping host-ip-address
