Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

CLIMCMD {clim-name | IP-address} ifstart interface
interface
Specifies the network interface name to be used by the NonStop host system for all interface
functionality. The interface name can be specified as a physical or bonded interface name,
for example, eth1 or bond0 or ib0, or a tunnel interface (for example, MYTUN).
Errors
• The interface interface name is not configured.
• This command is not supported for the interface eth0.
• This command is not supported for the interface lo.
• This command is not supported for the interface eth0:0.
• slave interface is not configured for this bonded interface.
• climagt process is not executing.
• Interface is already in started state.
Deactivating an Interface
Use the ifstop command to deactivate an interface. ifstop brings down the physical, bonding, and
tunnel interfaces. All the IP addresses and routes associated with a network interface are deactivated,
including the IP addresses migrated to the failover CLIM.
You execute the ifstop command on the CLIM by using the CLIMCMD tool as described in “Entering
CIP Commands” (page 71).
For all data interfaces (eth1 - ethn, ib0–ibn, bonding, and tunnel interfaces), the ifstop command
brings down the interface. The interface is brought down by the NonStop host system. Issuing ifstop
on an interface does not trigger a failover.
If there is a tunnel associated with the specified interface, and if the tunnel interface is UP, CIP
does not allow the interface to be stopped. The tunnel interface must be stopped before its parent
interface can be stopped. The ifstop command syntax is:
CLIMCMD {clim-name |IP-address} ifstop interface [-force]
interface
Specifies the network interface to be brought down. The interface name can be a physical or
bonded interface name, for example, eth1, bond0, ib0 or a tunnel interface name (for example,
MYTUN).
-force
When used without –force option, ifstop prompts for confirmation before stopping the interface.
If the –force option is used, ifstop stops the interface without prompting for the confirmation.
Errors
• The interface interface name is not configured.
• This command is not supported for the interface eth0.
• This command is not supported for the interface lo.
• This command is not supported for the interface eth0:0.
• climagt process is not executing.
• Interface is in already in stopped state.
• The interface interface has a tunnel interface associated with it. The tunnel interface should
be stopped prior to stopping the specified interface.
