.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
ibnetdiscover [options] [<topology\-file>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
ibnetdiscover performs IB subnet discovery and outputs a human readable
topology file. GUIDs, node types, and port numbers are displayed
as well as port LIDs and NodeDescriptions. All nodes (and links) are displayed
(full topology). Optionally, this utility can be used to list the current
connected nodes by nodetype. The output is printed to standard output
unless a topology file is specified.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
\fB\-l, \-\-list\fP
List of connected nodes
.sp
\fB\-g, \-\-grouping\fP
Show grouping. Grouping correlates IB nodes by different vendor specific
schemes. It may also show the switch external ports correspondence.
.sp
\fB\-H, \-\-Hca_list\fP
List of connected CAs
.sp
\fB\-S, \-\-Switch_list\fP
List of connected switches
.sp
\fB\-R, \-\-Router_list\fP
List of connected routers
.sp
\fB\-s, \-\-show\fP
Show progress information during discovery.
.sp
\fB\-f, \-\-full\fP
Show full information (ports\(aq speed and width, vlcap)
.sp
\fB\-p, \-\-ports\fP
Obtain a ports report which is a
list of connected ports with relevant information (like LID, portnum,
GUID, width, speed, and NodeDescription).
.sp
\fB\-m, \-\-max_hops\fP
Report max hops discovered.
.\" Define the common option -z
.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-outstanding_smps, \-o <val>\fP
Specify the number of outstanding SMP\(aqs which should be issued during the scan
.sp
Default: 2
.UNINDENT
.SS Cache File flags
.\" Define the common option cache
.
.sp
\fB\-\-cache <filename>\fP
Cache the ibnetdiscover network data in the specified filename. This
cache may be used by other tools for later analysis.
.\" Define the common option load-cache
.
.sp
\fB\-\-load\-cache <filename>\fP
Load and use the cached ibnetdiscover data stored in the specified
filename. May be useful for outputting and learning about other
fabrics or a previous state of a fabric.
.\" Define the common option diff
.
.sp
\fB\-\-diff <filename>\fP
Load cached ibnetdiscover data and do a diff comparison to the current
network or another cache. A special diff output for ibnetdiscover
output will be displayed showing differences between the old and current
fabric. By default, the following are compared for differences: switches,
channel adapters, routers, and port connections.
.\" Define the common option diffcheck
.
.sp
\fB\-\-diffcheck <key(s)>\fP
Specify what diff checks should be done in the \fB\-\-diff\fP option above.
Comma separate multiple diff check key(s). The available diff checks
are: \fBsw = switches\fP, \fBca = channel adapters\fP, \fBrouter\fP = routers,
\fBport\fP = port connections, \fBlid\fP = lids, \fBnodedesc\fP = node
descriptions. Note that \fBport\fP, \fBlid\fP, and \fBnodedesc\fP are
checked only for the node types that are specified (e.g. \fBsw\fP,
\fBca\fP, \fBrouter\fP). If \fBport\fP is specified alongside \fBlid\fP
or \fBnodedesc\fP, remote port lids and node descriptions will also be compared.
.SS Port Selection flags
.\" Define the common option -C
.
.sp
\fB\-C, \-\-Ca <ca_name>\fP use the specified ca_name.
.\" Define the common option -P
.
.sp
\fB\-P, \-\-Port <ca_port>\fP use the specified ca_port.
.\" Explanation of local port selection
.
.SS Local port Selection
.sp
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:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.INDENT 0.0
.IP 1. 3
the first port that is ACTIVE.
.IP 2. 3
if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
.UNINDENT
.sp
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.
.sp
For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
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.

.\" Common text to describe the Topology file.
.
.SS TOPOLOGY FILE FORMAT
.sp
The topology file format is human readable and largely intuitive.
Most identifiers are given textual names like vendor ID (vendid), device ID
(device ID), GUIDs of various types (sysimgguid, caguid, switchguid, etc.).
PortGUIDs are shown in parentheses (). For switches, this is shown on the
switchguid line. For CA and router ports, it is shown on the connectivity
lines. The IB node is identified followed by the number of ports and a quoted
the node GUID. On the right of this line is a comment (#) followed by the
NodeDescription in quotes. If the node is a switch, this line also contains
whether switch port 0 is base or enhanced, and the LID and LMC of port 0.
Subsequent lines pertaining to this node show the connectivity. On the
left is the port number of the current node. On the right is the peer node
(node at other end of link). It is identified in quotes with nodetype
followed by \- followed by NodeGUID with the port number in square brackets.
Further on the right is a comment (#). What follows the comment is
dependent on the node type. If it it a switch node, it is followed by
the NodeDescription in quotes and the LID of the peer node. If it is a
CA or router node, it is followed by the local LID and LMC and then
followed by the NodeDescription in quotes and the LID of the peer node.
The active link width and speed are then appended to the end of this
output line.

When grouping is used, IB nodes are organized into chassis which are
numbered. Nodes which cannot be determined to be in a chassis are
displayed as "Non\-Chassis Nodes". External ports are also shown on the
connectivity lines.
