You are troubleshooting InfiniBand connectivity issues in a cluster managed by the NVIDIA Network Operator.

To check the status and link layer of InfiniBand interfaces, the ibstat command is used. For example:​

ibstat -d mlx5_0

This command provides detailed information about the InfiniBand device, including its state (e.g., Active), physical state (e.g., LinkUp), and link layer (e.g., InfiniBand).​
