Hi dhcp-users,

Can ISC DHCP run over Infiniband ?

Documentation (e.g., RELNOTES) seem to suggest that ISC DHCP was patched af=
ter  version 3.1.3 to support it running over InfiniBand, but when we tried=
 the latest version 4.4.3-P1 running on top of an InfiniBand interface  it =
failed with the following message :  "Unsupported device type 32 for 'ib0'"=
.

Searching the 4.4.3-P1 source code for the above message shows InfiniBand i=
s not supported.

Not sure what the real story is here, and looking for mailing list expertis=
e to clarify.

THANKS!

Greg
