25 flood destination: send packets back to back without delay
27 \fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-oui\fR
28 use specified OUI number to multiplex vendor mads

35 Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The exact list of
36 supported flags per utility can be found in the usage message and can be shown
37 using the util_name -h syntax.

48 \-v increase the application verbosity level.
49 May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
51 \-V show the version info.
55 \-G use GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the Port GUID.
59 \-s <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SM/SA queries.
63 \-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
65 \-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
67 \-t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.
69 Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
71 When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is selected
72 by the following criteria:
74 1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
76 2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
78 If a port and/or CA name is specified, the user request is
79 attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possible.
