Network Interface availability

When the setup.sh script runs it checks to see what interfaces are available and allowed. Currently interfaces starting with eth and tap are allowed. This prevents other interfaces from being used and in most cases this is the right thing to do - for example allowing lo for the loopback interface would prevent the simulator from being accessible.

If you need to use a different interface than the ones being presented then please contact the author with details about what interface you need and an output from ifconfig -a in Linux.

Additionally for advanced users, if you need to immediately use the interface then after configure your simulator using the setup.sh script and manually edit the runsim.sh script. Note that if you then re-run the setup.sh script your changes will be lost. Specifically look for the two "echo interface > /etc/netapp-sim/default_ifname" lines.
