+# 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.
