The /dev/etherd/interfaces special file is obsoleted by the
aoe_iflist boot option and module option (and its sysfs entry
described in the next section).
"echo eth2 eth4 > /dev/etherd/interfaces" tells the aoe driver to
limit ATA over Ethernet traffic to eth2 and eth4. AoE traffic from
untrusted networks should be ignored as a matter of security.

Use /sys/module/aoe/parameters/aoe_iflist (or better, the driver
option discussed below) instead of /dev/etherd/interfaces to limit
AoE traffic to the network interfaces in the given
whitespace-separated list. Unlike the old character device, the
sysfs entry can be read from as well as written to.
It's helpful to trigger discovery after setting the list of allowed
interfaces. If your distro provides an aoe-discover script, you can
use that. Otherwise, you can directly use the /dev/etherd/discover
file described above.
DRIVER OPTIONS
There is a boot option for the built-in aoe driver and a
corresponding module parameter, aoe_iflist. Without this option,
all network interfaces may be used for ATA over Ethernet. Here is a
usage example for the module parameter.
modprobe aoe_iflist="eth1 eth3"
