NAME
     ibdiscover.pl - annotate and compare InfiniBand topology


SYNOPSIS
     ibdiscover.pl


DESCRIPTION
     ibdiscover.pl  uses  a topology file create by ibnetdiscover
     and a discover.map file which the network administrator cre-
     ates  which  indicates the nodes to be expected and a ibdis-
     cover.topo file which is the expected connectivity and  pro-
     duces  a  new connectivity file (discover.topo.new) and out-
     puts the changes to stdout. The  network  administrator  can
     choose  to  replace  the "old" topo file with the new one or
     certain changes in.

     The syntax of the ibdiscover.map file is:

     <nodeGUID>|port|"Text for node"|<NodeDescription from ibnet-
     discover format>

     e.g.

     8f10400410015|8|"ISR 6000"|# SW-6IB4 Voltaire port 0 lid 5

     8f10403960558|2|"HCA  1"|# MT23108 InfiniHost Mellanox Tech-
     nologies

     The syntax of the old and new  topo  files  (ibdiscover.topo
     and ibdiscover.topo.new) are:

     <LocalPort>|<LocalNodeGUID>|<RemotePort>|<RemoteNodeGUID>

     e.g.

     10|5442ba00003080|1|8f10400410015

     These topo files are produced by the ibdiscover.pl tool.
