pif-forget

pif-forget uuid=<uuid_of_pif>

Destroy the specified PIF object on a particular host.

pif-introduce

pif-introducehost-uuid=<UUID of XenServer host> mac=<mac_address_for_pif> device=<machine- readable name of the interface (for example, eth0)>

Create a new PIF object representing a physical interface on the specified XenServer host.

pif-plug

pif-pluguuid=<uuid_of_pif>

Attempt to bring up the specified physical interface.

pif-reconfigure-ip

pif-reconfigure-ipuuid=<uuid_of_pif> [ mode=<dhcp> mode=<static> ] gateway=<network_gateway_address> IP=<static_ip_for_this_pif> netmask=<netmask_for_this_pif> [DNS=<dns_address>]
