Hi, my setup looks like
server2 ---seriallink--- 4036(192.168.20.254/24) -----QSFPcable----- server1(192.168.20.1/24)
Result: on server1 the switch is not reachable with ping/telnet/browser/arp. Communication between other IB devices via the switch works.
4036(config-if)# ip-address show
port selection InfiniBand
ip 192.168.20.254
mask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.20.255
Maybe a magic step like loading ipoib on the switch is needed? Or you have other ideas?
