NAME

6       aoe-interfaces - restrict aoe driver to specified network interfaces
7

SYNOPSIS

9       aoe-interfaces [dev1] [dev2 ...]
10       aoe-interfaces -c
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The aoe-interfaces command tells the aoe driver to ignore ATA over Eth‐
14       ernet (AoE) traffic on all but the specified network interfaces.  It is
15       analogous to the aoe_iflist module load option.
16
17       If  neither  the  aoe_iflist  module load option nor the aoe-interfaces
18       command are used, the aoe driver will use any network interface for AoE
19       traffic.
20
21       If  the  aoe  driver  is  a module, then calling aoe-interfaces without
22       arguments will display the current interfaces list.  If it hasn't  been
23       set then the output will be blank.
24
25       It's  good to run the aoe-discover command after setting the AoE inter‐
26       faces list.
27

OPTIONS

29       -c     The -c flag will clear the interface access list, permitting any
30              interface to be used.
31

EXAMPLE

33       In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module
34       with only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic.  After remembering that shelf
35       7 is on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list
36       of allowable network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover to ask  the
37       aoe driver to look for new AoE devices.
