Hi,
I’m testing bluefield 2 dpu on my testbed.
I have two gigabyte g242-p33 servers with bluefield-2 dpu and two servers are connected to a qm8700 infiniband switch.
I installed doca 2.8.0 on host side and dpu side.
However, I don’t see any representor interfaces from host side and dpu side.
Also, when I execute “ovs-vsctl show” on dpu side, it shows me nothing.
I used dpu mode and I set link type to infiniband.
host side:

When I tested it with an ethernet switch and link type set to ethernet, everything was ok.
Is dpu mode only available in an ethernet environment where the link type is set to ethernet?
