QETHCONF(8)

NAME
qethconf - Configure IBM OSA-Express IPA, VIPA and Proxy ARP.

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

DESCRIPTION
qethconf is a shell script, that simplifies the usage of the IBM OSA-Express IPA, VIPA and Proxy ARP function.

TYPE
    <ipa/vipa/parp>
    Choose one of these keywords for function:
    ipa - IP address takeover (IPA)
    vipa - Virtual IP address (VIPA)
    parp - Proxy ARP

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).

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 and del commands. It is optional for function IPA.

RESTRICTIONS
Needs at least bash version 2.0.

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