aoe-interfaces - restrict aoe driver to specified network interfaces SYNOPSIS
aoe-interfaces [dev1] [dev2 ...] aoe-interfaces -c DESCRIPTION
The aoe-interfaces command tells the aoe driver to ignore ATA over Ethernet (AoE) traffic on all but the specified network interfaces. It is analogous to the aoe_iflist module load option. If neither the aoe_iflist module load option nor the aoe-interfaces command are used, the aoe driver will use any network interface for AoE traffic. Using aoe-interfaces to limit AoE to only trusted networks prevents the case where a rogue AoE target appears on a public net- work, diverting data from the legitimate AoE target. Such an imposter target effectively corrupts the data on the legitimate target. If the aoe driver is a module, then calling aoe-interfaces without arguments will display the current interfaces list. If it hasn't been set then the output will be blank. It's good to run the aoe-discover command after setting the AoE interfaces list. OPTIONS
-c The -c flag will clear the interface access list, permitting any interface to be used. EXAMPLE
In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module with only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic. After remembering that shelf 7 is on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list of allowable network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover to ask the aoe driver to look for new AoE devices. nai:~# modprobe aoe aoe_iflist="eth0" nai:~# aoe-stat e10.9 eth0 up nai:~# aoe-interfaces eth0 eth3 nai:~# aoe-discover nai:~# aoe-stat e7.0 eth3 up e7.1 eth3 up e7.2 eth3 up e7.3 eth3 up e7.4 eth3 up e7.5 eth3 up e7.6 eth3 up e7.7 eth3 up e7.8 eth3 up e7.9 eth3 up e10.9 eth0 up nai:~# aoe-interfaces eth0 eth3 SEE ALSO

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. SEE ALSO
