Unfortunately, even if you know the topology of your network, the only messaging you can do is to send directed route management packets. The subnet manager is responsible for assigning LIDs to ports and programming the switch forwarding tables. Without that, no LID-routed traffic can flow, and directed route traffic is very slow (every switch in the directed route must forward the packet in firmware). - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
