# ibswitches

## NAME



           IBSWITCHES - show InfiniBand switch nodes in topology
    


## SYNOPSIS



           ibswitches [options] [<topology-file>]
    


## DESCRIPTION



           ibswitches is a script which either walks the IB subnet topology
           or uses an already saved topology file and extracts the switch
           nodes.
    


## OPTIONS



           **-C, --Ca <ca_name>    **use the specified ca_name.
    
           **-P, --Port <ca_port>    **use the specified ca_port.
    
           **-t, --timeout <timeout_ms> **override the default timeout for the
           solicited mads.
    
           **-y, --m_key <key>**
                  use the specified M_key for requests. If non-numeric value
                  (like 'x') is specified then a value will be prompted for.
    
           **-h, --help** show the usage message
    
           **--config, -z <config_file> **Specify alternate config file.
              Default:
              /ssd11/FOSS/rdma-core/build/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
    
       **Local port Selection**
           Multiple port/Multiple CA support: when no IB device or port is
           specified (see the "local umad parameters" below), the libibumad
           library selects the port to use by the following criteria:
    
              1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
    
              2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
    
              If a port and/or CA name is specified, the libibumad library
              attempts to fulfill the user request, and will fail if it is
              not possible.
    
              For example:
    
                  ibaddr                 # use the first port (criteria #1 above)
                  ibaddr -C mthca1       # pick the best port from "mthca1" only.
                  ibaddr -P 2            # use the second (active/up) port from the first available IB device.
                  ibaddr -C mthca0 -P 2  # use the specified port only.
    


## FILES



       **CONFIG FILE**
           /ssd11/FOSS/rdma-core/build/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
    
           A global config file is provided to set some of the common options
           for all tools.  See supplied config file for details.
    
       **NODE NAME MAP FILE FORMAT**
           The node name map is used to specify user friendly names for nodes
           in the output.  GUIDs are used to perform the lookup.
    
           This functionality is provided by the opensm-libs package.  See
           **opensm**(8) for the file location for your installation.
