IBROUTE -
query InfiniBand switch forwarding tables
SYNOPSIS
ibroute [options] [<dest dr_path|lid|guid> [<startlid> [<endlid>]]]
DESCRIPTION
ibroute uses SMPs to display the forwarding tables (unicast (LinearFor‐
wardingTable or LFT) or multicast (MulticastForwardingTable or MFT))
for the specified switch LID and the optional lid (mlid) range. The
default range is all valid entries in the range 1...FDBTop.
OPTIONS
-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 parame‐
ters are specifying the mlid range.
Addressing Flags
-D, --Direct The address specified is a directed route
Examples:
[options] -D [options] "0" # self port
[options] -D [options] "0,1,2,1,4" # out via port 1, then 2, ...
(Note the second number in the path specified must match the port being
used. This can be specified using the port selection flag '-P' or the
port found through the automatic selection process.)
-G, --Guid The address specified is a Port GUID
-L, --Lid The address specified is a LID
-s, --sm_port <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SA queries.
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 speci‐
fied (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.
--config, -z <config_file> Specify alternate config file.
Default: /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.
EXAMPLES
Unicast examples
:: ibroute 4 # dump all lids with valid out ports of
switch with lid 4 ibroute-a 4 # same, but dump all
lids, even with invalid out ports ibroute-n 4 # sim‐
ple dump format - no destination resolution ibroute 4 10
# dump lids starting from 10 (up to FDBTop) ibroute 4 0x10 0x20
# dump lid range ibroute-G 0x08f1040023 # resolve switch by
GUID ibroute-D 0,1 # resolve switch by direct path
Multicast examples
:: ibroute-M 4 # dump all non empty mlids of switch
with lid 4 ibroute-M 4 0xc010 0xc020 # same, but with range
ibroute-M -n 4 # simple dump format
