FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_ifmib - Fence agent for IF MIB
DESCRIPTION
fence_ifmib is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with any SNMP IFMIB capable device.
It was written with managed ethernet switches in mind, in order to
fence iSCSI SAN connections. However, there are many devices that support the IF-MIB interface. The agent uses IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus to control the state of an interface.
fence_ifmib accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.
Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ifmib can be run by itself with command line options. This is
useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
