<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hello, everyone. I wonder if anyone can tell me how to take an IB interface offline on a running Linux (CENTOS 5 with OFED 1.3.1) system? I can cause it to loose its IP address with ifdown but it seems that the IP address is only involved in establishing new connections and removing it doesn’t prevent the device from fielding traffic on established connections.<BR>
<BR>
Does anybody know how this is done?</SPAN></FONT>
