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.
