4 <title>Accessing USB devices Exposed Over the Network with USB/IP</title>
5
6 <body>
7 <p>
8 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> supports passing through USB devices which are
9 exposed over the network using the USB over IP protocol without
10 the need to configure the client side provided by the kernel and
11 usbip tools. Furthermore, this feature works with <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
12 running on any supported host, rather than just Linux alone, as is
13 the case with the official client.
14 </p>
15 <p>
16 To enable support for passing through USB/IP devices, use the
17 following command to add the device server that exports the
18 devices:
19 </p>
20 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage usbdevsource add <varname>unique-name</varname> --backend <varname>USBIP</varname> --address <varname>device-server</varname>[:<varname>port</varname>]</pre>
21 <p>
22 USB devices exported on the device server are then accessible
23 through <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> or <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput>, like any USB
24 devices attached locally. This can be used multiple times to
25 access different device servers.
26 </p>
27 <p>
28 To remove a device server, the following command can be used:
29 </p>
30 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage usbdevsource remove <varname>unique-name</varname>
31 </pre>
32 </body>
