We are trying to setup bonding using two ports on the same ConnectX-7 HCA, but we couldn’t get mlx5_bond_0 to form. We did the same thing on ConnectX-6 HCA, it could form the mlx5_bond_0 device correctly. Is there a specific configuration I need on ConnectX-7 to get it to work?
Hi,
More information is needed in order to provide assistance here.
In general, the process should be the same for ConnectX-6 and ConnectX-7 (creating bonds is a basic networking functionality). As long as both CX7 ports are set to Ethernet, and FW & OFED versions are fully up to date, there shouldn’t be any issue there.
However, as mentioned, we are missing the exact configurations you run for ConnectX-6 and ConnectX-7 to compare them and see the issue.
I suggest opening a Support Case and it will be handled based on entitlement.
Thanks,
Jonathan.
