.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBlnetctl\fR is used to configure LNet parameters allowing various configuration
and debugging features to be accessed\.
.
.P
\fBlnetctl\fR can be invoked in interactive mode by issuing lnetctl command\.
After that, commands are issued as below\.
.
.P
To get a complete listing of available commands, type
.B --list-commands
at the lnetctl prompt\. To get basic help on the meaning and syntax of a command
type \fB<command>\fR \-\-help\.
.
.P
For non\-interactive use the \fBlnetctl\fR utility can be invoked from the
command line as follows:

large buffers for all CPU partitions\.
.
.TP
\fBlnetctl set\fR routing \fI[0, 1]\fR
0 value indicates to disable routing\. 1 value indicates to enable routing\.
When routing is disabled the values of the buffers that might have been changed
are not remembered, and the next time routing is enabled the default buffer
count will be used\.
.
.TP
\fBlnetctl set\fR drop_asym_route \fI[0, 1]\fR
0 value indicates to accept asymmetrical route messages\. 1 value indicates to
drop them\. Asymmetrical route is when a message from a remote peer is coming

2 - PUTs are eligible for response tracking\.
3 - Both PUTs and GETs are eligible for response tracking (default)\.
Note: Regardless of the value of the response_tracking parameter LNet
pings and discovery pushes always utilize response tracking\.
.
.TP
\fBlnetctl set\fR recovery_limit \fIvalue\fR

The recovery ping mechanism increases the next scheduled recovery ping attempt
timeout exponentially (base 2) until it is equal to the value set.
The default value is 900.
.
.SS "Import and Export YAML Configuration Files"
LNet configuration can be represented in YAML format\. A YAML configuration
file can be passed to the lnetctl utility via the \fBimport\fR command\. The
lnetctl utility will attempt to configure all elements defined in the YAML
file\.
.
.P
Similarly the \fBexport\fR command can be used to dump all supported LNet
configuration to stdout\. The output can be redirected to a file\.
.
.TP
\fBlnetctl import\fR \fIFILE\fR:
.
.TP
\fBlnetctl import\fR < \fIFILE\fR
\fBimport\fR command uses the specified YAML configuration file to configure
LNet parameters defined within\. The import command by default adds the LNet
parameters defined in the YAML file, but this default behavior can be
overwritten by specifying the desired behavior\.
.
.br
\-\-add: add configuration
.
.br
\-\-del: delete configuration
.
.br
\-\-show: show configuration
.
.br
