OPTIONS

18       -c, --count stop after count packets
19
20       -f, --flood flood destination: send packets back to back without delay
21
22       -o, --oui use specified OUI number to multiplex vendor mads
23
24       -S, --Server start in server mode (do not return)
25
26   Addressing Flags
27       -L, --Lid   The address specified is a LID
28
29       -G, --Guid     The address specified is a Port GUID
30
31       -s, --sm_port <smlid>     use 'smlid' as the target lid for SA queries.
32
33   Port Selection flags
34       -C, --Ca <ca_name>    use the specified ca_name.
35
36       -P, --Port <ca_port>    use the specified ca_port.
37
38   Local port Selection
39       Multiple port/Multiple CA support: when no IB device or port is  speci‐
40       fied  (see  the  "local  umad parameters" below), the libibumad library
41       selects the port to use by the following criteria:
42
43          1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
44
45          2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
46
47          If a port  and/or  CA  name  is  specified,  the  libibumad  library
48          attempts  to  fulfill  the  user request, and will fail if it is not
49          possible.
50
51          For example:
52
53              ibaddr                 # use the first port (criteria #1 above)
54              ibaddr -C mthca1       # pick the best port from "mthca1" only.
55              ibaddr -P 2            # use the second (active/up) port from the first available IB device.
56              ibaddr -C mthca0 -P 2  # use the specified port only.
57
58   Configuration flags
