Comparing NCLU and vtysh Commands
Using NCLU is the recommended way to configure routing in Cumulus Linux; however, you can use the vtysh
modal CLI.
The following table shows the FRRouting commands and the equivalent Cumulus Linux NCLU commands.
Action | NCLU Commands | FRRouting Commands |
---|---|---|
Display the routing table | cumulus@switch:~$ net show route | switch# show ip route |
Create a new neighbor | cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp autonomous-system 65002 | switch(config)# router bgp 65002 |
Redistribute routing information from static route entries into RIP tables | cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp redistribute static | switch(config)# router bgp 65002 |
Define a static route | cumulus@switch:~$ net add routing route 155.1.2.20/24 bridge 45 | switch(config)# ip route 155.1.2.20/24 bridge 45 |
Configure an IPv6 address | cumulus@switch:~$ net add interface swp3 ipv6 address 3002:2123:1234:1abc::21/64 | switch(config)# int swp3 |
Enable topology checking (PTM) | cumulus@switch:~$ net add routing ptm-enable | switch(config)# ptm-enable |
Configure MTU in IPv6 network discovery for an interface | cumulus@switch:~$ sudo cl-ra interface swp3 set mtu 9000 | switch(config)# int swp3 |
Set the OSPF interface priority | cumulus@switch:~$ net add interface swp3 ospf6 priority 120 | switch(config)# int swp3 |
Configure timing for OSPF SPF calculations | cumulus@switch:~$ net add ospf6 timers throttle spf 40 50 60 | switch(config)# router ospf6 |
Configure the OSPF Hello packet interval in number of seconds for an interface | cumulus@switch:~$ net add interface swp4 ospf6 hello-interval 60 | switch(config)# int swp4 |
Display BGP information | cumulus@switch:~$ net show bgp summary | switch# show ip bgp summary |
Display OSPF debugging status | cumulus@switch:~$ net show debugs | switch# show debugging ospf |
Show information about the interfaces on the switch | cumulus@switch:~$ net show interface | switch# show interfaceTo quickly check important information, such as IP address, VRF, and operational status, in easy to read tabular format: switch# show interface brief |
