Performing a First Test Getting Started with the IBTrainer
CATC IBTrainer InfiniBand Exerciser, August 2002

For instance, if both devices are set to Initialized, you can select
AutoNegotiate and click Active to have both devices set as Active: the
IBTrainer sets the link state from Initialized to Armed and then from
Armed to Active for both devices.
Because we intend to only send Subnet Management packets (SMP) in
the current test, we only need to set the link training of the IBTrainer to
Poll . In that case, the status of the link training state machine eventually
becomes LinkUp and the link state machine Initialized.
Sending an SMP Packet
The software is delivered with three sample packets that you can use for
your first tests:
• Sample SMP packet which is a Subnet Management Packet
• Sample IB packet which is a standard InfiniBand packet
• Sample GMP packet which is a Management datagram (MAD) packet
