Use the rswcli ‑MPIOExclude command to exclude a subnet, adapter, or IP address from use by MPIO, or to move a subnet, IP
address, or adapter from the included list to the excluded list.
If the subnet, adapter MAC address, or IP address defined by these arguments is already in the excluded subnet, adapter MAC address, or
IP address list, the command will fail.
The command syntax is as follows:
rswcli -MPIOExclude -Network IP_address -Mask IP_address[-Force]
rswcli -MPIOExclude -MAC MAC_address[-Force]
rswcli -MPIOExclude -IpAddress IP_address[-Force]
rswcli -MPIOExclude -Default Include|Exclude[-Force]
The following table describes the command parameters.
Table 11. Exclude Subnet or Adapter Command Options
Parameter Argument Description
Network IP_address (Required for a subnet) Designates a new IP address for a network that, in combination
with the -Mask parameter, matches exactly a subnet that is in the included subnet list
and moves it to the excluded subnet list.
Mask IP_address (Required for a subnet) Designates a subnet mask to be used in conjunction with the
network IP address to define a subnet to be added to the excluded list.
MAC MAC_address (Required for a adapter) Designates a new MAC address (also called physical address) for
a single adapter that matches exactly a MAC address for the adapter that is in the
included adapter list and moves it to the excluded adapter list. The MAC address can be
specified in any of the following formats, where AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF represent the
high-order to low-order portions of a 6-byte hexadecimal (48-bit) MAC address that
uniquely identifies a host network adapter:
• AABBCCDDEEFF
• AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
• AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
• AA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FF
IpAddress IP_address (Required for an IP address) Designates a new IP address for a single adapter that
matches exactly an IP address for the adapter that is in the included IP address list, and
moves it to the excluded IP address list.
Default Include|Exclude Controls whether any new adapters or subnets are included or excluded by default from
MPIO usage. You cannot combine the -Default parameter with any other parameter
except -Force.
Force Use this parameter if the excluded list already contains a combination of subnet, adapter,
or IP address. This parameter will result in the excluded list containing only one type (either
subnet, adapter, or IP address), as specified by the command used with the relevant
parameter. If the existing excluded list entries are of the same type (subnet, adapter, or IP
address) and are not already in the excluded list, then the new subnet, adapter or IP
address is added to the excluded list. All other excluded list entries that are not of same
type are removed. For example, -MAC with -Force saves only the existing adapter
settings in the excluded list, but removes all other subnets and IP addresses from the
excluded list. To preserve mixed types of subnets, adapters, and IP addresses, use the
ASM CLI.
