aoecfg

aoecfg(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 aoecfg(8)

NAME

       aoecfg - manipulate AoE configuration strings

SYNOPSIS

       aoecfg [-c cmd] [-s cfgstr] [-t timeout] [shelf slot] [netif]

DESCRIPTION

       Aoecfg(8)  sends  AoE configuration commands that control the retrivial, conditional or unconditional setting of AoE configuration strings.
       Since configuration happens before the MAC address of the target is known, the packet is broadcast.  AoE targets with a matching shelf  and
       slot respond.  Since the default shelf and slot are the wildcard values 0xffff and 0xff, with no arguments aoecfg(8) will return configura-
       tion strings from all targets visible on the default interface, eth0.

OPTIONS

       -c cmd  specify the AoE configuration command.  The default is read.  The available commands are

       read Read the server config string without performing any test and respond.

       test Respond only if the specified string exactly matches the server configuration string.

       prefix Respond only if the specified string is a prefix of the server configuration string.

       set If the current server config string is empty, set the server config string to the argument string and respond.  If the  current  server
	       config string is not empty, return a response with Flags bit E set and Error set to 4.

       fset Force set the server config string to the argument string and respond.

       -s cfgstr
	       specify the config string.

       -t timeout
	       specify	the  timeout in seconds.  The default is no timeout.  If neither the shelf nor the slot are specified, aoecfg(8) will exit
	       after the first result.	Otherwise, aoecfg(8) will exit only after the timeout  has  expired  since  it	does  not  know  how  many
	       responses to expect.

       shelf slot
	       specify the shelf and slot used in the query.  If unspecified, they default to broadcast.

       netif   specifiy the network interface.	The default is eth0.
