Field

Description

Link Speed Active

Speed of an active link. The value is 1 (2.5 Gbps).

 

 

Link Speed Enabled

Maximum speed the link is capable of handling. The value is 0

 

(No state change), 1 (2.5 Gbps), or 3 (value derived from link-

 

speed-supported).

 

 

Neighbor MTU

Active maximum transmission unit enabled on this port for

 

transmit. Check the mtu-cap value at both ends of every link and

 

use the lesser speed. The value is mtu256, mtu512, mtu1024,

 

mtu2048, or mtu4096.

 

 

Master SM SL

Administrative service level required for this port to send a non-

 

SMP message to the SM.

 

 

VL Cap

Maximum range of data virtual lanes supported by this port. The

 

value is vl0, vl0ToVl1, vl0ToVl3, vl0ToVl7, or vl0ToVl14.

 

Refer also to oper-VL. Each port can support up to fifteen

 

virtual lanes (VLs 0 - 15). The VL-cap field displays the range

 

of those lanes (for example, lanes 0 - 7) that the port currently

 

supports.

 

 

VL High Limit

Maximum high-priority limit on the number of bytes allowed

 

for transmitting high-priority packets when both ends of a link

 

operate with multiple data virtual-lanes. Used with the virtual-

 

lane arbitration table. The maximum high-limit is determined by

 

checking the vl-arb-high-cap on the other side of the link and

 

then negotiating downward.

 

 

VL Arb High Cap

Highest arbitration value allowed by the arbiter in determining

 

the next packet in a set of packets to send across the link. Used

 

with the virtual-lane arbitration table and specified as a VL/

 

Weight pair. Refer to section 14.2.5.9, VL Arbitration Table,

 

“InfiniBand® Architecture, Vol. 1, Release 1.0”, for more

 

information.

 

 

Vl Arb Low Cap

Lowest arbitration value allowed by the arbiter in determining

 

the next packet in a set of packets to send across the link. Used

 

with the virtual-lane arbitration table and specified as a VL/

 

Weight pair. Refer to section 14.2.5.9, VL Arbitration Table,

 

“InfiniBand® Architecture, Vol. 1, Release 1.0”, for more

 

information.

 

 

MTU Cap

Used in conjunction with neighbor-mtu to determine the

 

maximum transmission size supported on this port. The lesser of

 

mtu-cap and neighbor-mtu determines the actual MTU used.

 

The value is 256, 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096.

 

 

VL Stall Count

Number of sequentially dropped packets at which the port enters

 

a VLStalled state. The virtual lane exits the VLStalled state (8 *

 

HLL) units after entering it. Refer to section 18.2.5.4,

 

Transmitter Queuing, “InfiniBand® Architecture, Vol. 1,

 

Release 1.0”, for a description of HLL.

 

 

HOQ Life

Maximum duration allowed to packets at the head of a virtual-

 

lane queue. Used with VL-stall-count to determine the outgoing

 

packets to discard.

 

 

Oper VL

Administrative limit for the number of virtual lanes allowed to

 

the link. Do not set this above the VL-cap value. The value is

 

vl0, vl0-Vl1, vl0-Vl3, vl0-Vl7, or vl0-Vl14.
