		# Configuring NVMe over Fabrics Host {#nvmf_host}

		Both the Linux kernel and SPDK implemented NVMe over Fabrics host. Users who want to test
		`nvmf_tgt` with kernel based host should upgrade to Linux kernel 4.8 or later, or can use
		Linux distributions Fedora or Ubuntu with Linux 4.8 kernel or later. A client tool nvme-cli
		is recommended to connect/disconect with NVMe over Fabrics target subsystems. Before
		connecting to remote subsystems, users should verify nvme-rdma driver is loaded.

		Discovery:
		~~~{.sh}
		nvme discovery -t rdma -s 192.168.100.8 -s 4420
		~~~

		Connect:
		~~~{.sh}
		nvme connect -t rdma -n "nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1" -a 192.168.100.8 -s 4420

		Disconnect:
		~~~{.sh}
