NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

EXAMPLE

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