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 configuration
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.
