In this tutorial, we go through all necessary steps to configure and fire up an experiment with two Bluefield-2 SmartNICs connected back to back atthe Cloudlab facility at the University of Clemson.

Disclaimer

While this part is a sequel of my series with the same title as “NVIDIA Mellanox Bluefield-2 SmartNIC + DPDK: “Rig for Dive” (c.f. Part I. and Part II.), here I only talk about the Cloudlab setup. Hence, if you lucky and have your own servers with your own Bluefields, you can skip this part and continue with Part IV.
