FS_GETCLIENTADDRS(1)					       AFS Command Reference					      FS_GETCLIENTADDRS(1)

NAME

       fs_getclientaddrs - Displays the client interfaces to register

SYNOPSIS

       fs getclientaddrs [-help]

       fs gc [-h]

       fs getcl [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs getclientaddrs command displays the IP addresses of the interfaces that the local Cache Manager registers with a File Server when
       first establishing a connection to it.

       The File Server uses the addresses when it initiates a remote procedure call (RPC) to the Cache Manager (as opposed to responding to an RPC
       sent by the Cache Manager). There are two common circumstances in which the File Server initiates RPCs: when it breaks callbacks and when
       it pings the client machine to verify that the Cache Manager is still accessible.

       If an RPC to that interface fails, the File Server simultaneously sends RPCs to all of the other interfaces in the list, to learn which of
       them are still available. Whichever interface replies first is the one to which the File Server then sends pings and RPCs to break
       callbacks.

       fs_setclientaddrs(1) explains how the Cache Manager constructs the list automatically in kernel memory as it initializes, and how to use
       that command to alter the kernel list after initialization.

CAUTIONS

       The File Server uses the list of interfaces displayed by this command only when selecting an alternative interface after a failed attempt
       to break a callback or ping the Cache Manager. When responding to the Cache Manager's request for file system data, the File Server replies
       to the interface which the Cache Manager used when sending the request. If the File Server's reply to a data request fails, the file server
       machine's network routing configuration determines which alternate network routes to the client machine are available for resending the
       reply.

       The displayed list applies to all File Servers to which the Cache Manager connects in the future. It is not practical to register different
       sets of addresses with different File Servers, because it requires using the fs setclientaddrs command to change the list and then
       rebooting each relevant File Server immediately.

       The displayed list is not necessarily governing the behavior of a given File Server, if an administrator has issued the fs setclientaddrs
       command since the Cache Manager first contacted that File Server. It determines only which addresses the Cache Manager registers when
       connecting to File Servers in the future.

       The list of interfaces does not influence the Cache Manager's choice of interface when establishing a connection to a File Server.

OPTIONS

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The output displays the IP address of each interface that the Cache Manager is currently registering with File Server processes that it
       contacts, with one address per line. The File Server initially uses the first address for breaking callbacks and pinging the Cache Manager,
       but the ordering of the other interfaces is not meaningful.

EXAMPLES

       The following example displays the two interfaces that the Cache Manager is registering with File Servers.

	  % fs getclientaddrs
	  192.12.105.68
	  192.12.108.84

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
