QETHCONF(8)

NAME
qethconf - Configure QETH functions IPA, VIPA and Proxy ARP.

SYNOPSIS
qethconf TYPE CMD [[-x]IPADDR[/MASKBITS]] [INTERFACE]

DESCRIPTION
qethconf simplifies usage of QETH IPA, VIPA and Proxy ARP functions for OSA-Express cards in layer 3 mode.

TYPE
    <ipa/vipa/parp|rxip/list_all/list_msg>
    Choose one of these keywords for function:
    ipa - IP address takeover (IPA)
    vipa - Virtual IP address (VIPA)
    parp|rxip - Proxy ARP
    list_all - List all available IPA, VIPA and Proxy ARP entries from the sysfs
    list_msg - List messages and explanation of errors during command execution

CMD <add/del/inv4/inv6/list>
    where
    add - Add an IP address or address range.
    del - Delete an IP address or address range.
    inv4 - Invert the selection of address ranges for IPv4 (only IPA).
    inv6 - Invert the selection of address ranges for IPv6 (only IPA).
    list - List TYPE specific entries from the sysfs

IPADDR
    Required for commands add and del.
    IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format,
    e.g. 192.168.10.38 or FE80::1:800:23e7:f5db
    Use preceding option -x for hexadecimal input format, e.g. -xc0a80a26

MASKBITS
    Number of bits set in the network mask. This allows to specify an address range, e.g. 192.168.10.0/24. This subparameter is only valid for function IPA.

INTERFACE
    Interface name to which the address or address range is bound, e.g. eth0. This parameter is required for add, del and the inv4 and inv6 command.

RESTRICTIONS
Needs at least bash version 2.0.

EXAMPLES
qethconf ipa add 192.168.10.0/24 eth0
qethconf ipa add -xc0a80a00/24 eth1
qethconf ipa inv4 eth0
qethconf parp add 10.0.0.2 eth0 (or qethconf rxip add 10.0.0.2 eth0)
qethconf vipa del 192.168.10.2 tr0
qethconf vipa add FE80::1:800:23e7:f5db eth1
qethconf list_all
