 SYNOPSIS
ibping [options] <dest lid | guid>

 DESCRIPTION
ibping uses vendor mads to validate connectivity between IB nodes.
On exit, (IP) ping like output is show. ibping is run as client/server.
Default is to run as client. Note also that a default ping server is
implemented within the kernel.

 OPTIONS
-c, --count
stop after count packets
-f, --flood
flood destination: send packets back to back without delay
-o, --oui
use specified OUI number to multiplex vendor mads
-S, --Server
start in server mode (do not return)
--dgid <gid>
destination GID: use when GRH is required in packets (IPv6 format)

 Addressing Flags
 Define the common option -L
.
-L, --Lid The address specified is a LID
 Define the common option -G
.
-G, --Guid The address specified is a Port GUID
 Define the common option -s
.
-s, --sm_port <smlid> use \(aqsmlid\(aq as the target lid for SA queries.

 Port Selection flags
 Define the common option -C
.
-C, --Ca <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
 Define the common option -P
.
-P, --Port <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
 Explanation of local port selection
.

 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:
NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 NDENT 0.0 
 1. 3
the first port that is ACTIVE.

 2. 3
if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
NINDENT 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:
NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 
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.
