NAME
       fence_ifmib - Fence agent for IF MIB

DESCRIPTION
       fence_ifmib is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with any SNMP IF-
       MIB capable device.

       It was written with managed ethernet switches  in  mind,	 in  order  to
       fence  iSCSI SAN connections. However, there are many devices that sup‐
       port the IF-MIB interface. The agent uses IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus to con‐
       trol 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.
