This field specifies the network interface used on the host to connect
to the Controller (e.g. IP eth1, enp2s0, enx78e7d1ea46da). This forces
the connection to be made on a specific interface instead of letting
the system decide.

Overrides the default Host NQN that identifies the NVMe Host.
If this option is not specified, the default is read from

NQN value from the NVMe Host kernel module is used next.
The Host NQN uniquely identifies the NVMe Host.
