Links REST API

  • Description – Provides information on all links within the fabric, links connected to a specific system, or detailed link information including cable data.

  • Request URL – GET /ufmRest/resources/links

  • Main Operations

    • Get all links

    • Get all links connected to a specific system

    • Get all link/s with their cable information

Note

Important: For InfiniBand network devices that support port labels (e.g., XDR, NDR switches, HCAs of type ConnectX--6 or later), the source and destination port dname will include port labels (e.g., "destination_port_dname": "1/3/1"). For other types, only the port number will be displayed.

Get All Links

  • Description – Retrieves information on all links in the fabric.

  • Request URL – GET /ufmRest/resources/links
