Network card Infiniband not recognize like network card

[jlebard]

Hello,

Mellanox Card (Infiniband Network) as recognize like a serial port

this a print of iface (inventory.py line 192)

{'name': 'ibp65s0', 'macaddress': '00:00:10:29:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:50:6b:00:00:00:00:00:00', 'serial': '00:00:10:29:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:50:6b:00:00:00:00:00:00', 'product': 'MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]', 'vendor': 'Mellanox Technologies', 'description': 'interface'}

when it's recognize like a serial, the fields need to be reduce (more 50char), so this do an error.

Hello, no problem with your english !

Sadly Netbox itself does not support Infiniband GUID (which is what is displayed here instead of a MAC address). This has been discussed quite a few times over the last 6 years without much results.

I guess we could either

• strip the colons and use 00001029fe80000000000000506b000000000000 (40 chars) instead (only works for inventory item serials)
• only use the MAC part of the GUID ie 00:00:10:29:fe:80 and use it for both serial and MAC

What do you think ?

I did the latter, just trip out the 'MAC' address and discard the rest of the GUID.

Well, those macs would be the same if you have several interfaces...

I see unique MAC addresses?

It's taking the first half of the MAC, which is the same for all
