DUMP_FTS(8)                 OpenIB Diagnostics                DUMP_FTS(8)

NAME         top

       DUMP_FTS - dump InfiniBand forwarding tables

SYNOPSIS         top

       dump_fts [options] [<startlid> [<endlid>]]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dump_fts is similar to ibroute but dumps tables for every switch
       found in an ibnetdiscover scan of the subnet.

       The dump file format is compatible with loading into OpenSM using
       the -R file -U /path/to/dump-file syntax.

OPTIONS         top

       -a, --all
              show all lids in range, even invalid entries

       -n, --no_dests
              do not try to resolve destinations

       -M, --Multicast
              show multicast forwarding tables In this case, the range
              parameters are specifying the mlid range.

   Port Selection flags
       -C, --Ca <ca_name>    use the specified ca_name.

       -P, --Port <ca_port>    use the specified ca_port.

   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.

   Debugging flags
       -d     raise the IB debugging level.  May be used several times
              (-ddd or -d -d -d).

       -e     show send and receive errors (timeouts and others)

       -h, --help      show the usage message

       -v, --verbose
              increase the application verbosity level.  May be used
              several times (-vv or -v -v -v)

       -V, --version     show the version info.

   Configuration flags
       -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.

       --node-name-map <node-name-map> Specify a node name map.
          This file maps GUIDs to more user friendly names.  See FILES
          section.

       --config, -z  <config_file> Specify alternate config file.
          Default:
          /ssd11/FOSS/rdma-core/build/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf

   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.
