<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi James,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Assuming you ask for a remote access to the data through the IB network (In-Band):</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(but actually this will work also in loopback if run on the same IB port)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you need the query tool for scripting ibis is your best choice.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A quick example for what you need to do to get all NodeInfoRecor's:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>ibis -port_num 1 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>sacNodeQuery getTable 0 # the zero is the comp mask.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You could also read the ibis.c and the osm_vendor_sa_api.h to see how one can implement that in C.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You could use umad directly </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Or decide to re-write the exiting software too.</FONT>
