After deploying the Network Operator, how do you verify it?
Why D is the answer
Check its pods, then test an RDMA pod
Verifying the Network Operator means checking its pods, then testing an RDMA pod.
In detail
- Check its pods, then test with a pod that uses RDMA.
- A running pod alone does not prove RDMA works.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
After deploying the operator, a team checks its pods, and then tests an RDMA pod.

Key point: Check pods, then test RDMA.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Run a BGP session against the Kubernetes API
- BGP does not reach the Kubernetes API.
- B. Run ibdiagnet inside an empty namespace only
- An empty namespace tests nothing.
- C. Open a browser to the node's BMC address
- A BMC is not part of this.
