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

climconfig.interface Description
This command does the following:
interface -add
adds the interface name to the /etc/network/interfaces file of the CLIM. The host brings
up the interface when it is added.
If the CLIM has MULTIPROV ON and the operator specifies the -prov command with the name
of an unconfigured prov object, that object is implicitly added. Thus, for an unknown provider,
you can specify climconfig interface -add interface-name -prov prov-name,
which would be the equivalent of issuing the two commands, climconfig prov -add
prov-name and climconfig interface -add interface-name -prov prov-name.
The interface can be added even when the CLIM is in the STARTED state.
Slave interfaces can be added by using the slaveinterface –configure command. If
a bonding interface does not have any slave interfaces, it is not activated by the host.
interface -delete
removes the configured physical or bonding interface and its configuration (all the IP addresses
and routes associated with the interface) from the /etc/network/interfaces file of CLIM.
interface -modify
changes the existing interface configuration in the CLIM /etc/network/interfaces file.
For eth0, its IP address or MAC address settings can be modified. For modifying parameters
of any option, only the modified parameter can be specified and other unmodified parameters
need not be specified. You can modify the jumbo setting, IP address, mtu, autonegotiation
settings, and MAC address individually, but not all on the same command. If an option does
not exist, the new option and its parameter can be added. However, you cannot delete a
previously configured option. This command does not support InfiniBand interfaces.
interface -info
displays the configuration of an interface. For a given interface, the IP address, netmask,
gateway, minimum TCP Retransmission Timeout (RTO) value (in milliseconds), and other
information, are displayed. An interface can have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses; in this case,
the command displays both of the configuration details for the interface. The command displays
the configurations only for an interface existing in the /etc/network/interfaces file. To
display the configurations for an interface existing in the kernel, use the ifconfig command.
PARAMETERS
eth0
Specifies the dedicated service LAN interface.
eth0:0
Specifies the maintenance Provider LAN interface.
interface
Refers to the physical (Ethernet or InfiniBand interface) or logical (software abstraction such as
bond or tunnel) interfaces on the CLIM.
interface-name
Specifies the interface for the operation. For the -macaddr option, the interface, including
slave interfaces must be physical interfaces. For other options, the interface can be either a
physical interface (for example, eth1, ib0) or a bonding interface (for example, bond0).
-ipaddress ipaddress
Specifies an IPv4 address.
