[openib-general] IB diagnostic tool : ibping

[Boris Shpolyansky]

Try 'man ibping' on the machine where you have OFED installed.
Also 'ibping -h' will list all available flags (without explanation).
 
Particularly for ibping command you need to start a Server first:
    ibping -S
and then to run the client side.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: [openib-general] IB diagnostic tool : ibping


Hi all,
 
I came across a list of tools for displaying information IB nodes and
testing connectivity/performance between nodes. (ex. ibping,
ibstat..etc). 
The list can be found here:
https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=Diagnostics
 
Is there any link online to the manual pages for these commands? The
link on the page points to a server that is no longer maintained.
 
I'm trying to ping self using ibping and it fails without showing the
reason. What could be the problem?
