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