Action Commands


nv action

Resets counters for interfaces, BGP, QoS buffers and pools, removes conflicts from protodown MLAG bonds, and disconnects system users.


nv show action <action-job-id>

Shows information about the specified action.

Command Syntax

SyntaxDescription
<action-job-id>The action ID.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.4.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv show action 3
detail: acl counters cleared.
http_status: 200
issue: []
state: action_success
status: acl counters cleared.
timeout: 60
type: ''

nv action change system date-time

Configures the Cumulus Linux software clock. The switch contains a battery backed hardware clock that maintains the time while the switch powers off and between reboots. When the switch is running, the Cumulus Linux operating system maintains its own software clock.

During boot up, the switch copies the time from the hardware clock to the operating system software clock. The software clock takes care of all the timekeeping. During system shutdown, the switch copies the software clock back to the battery backed hardware clock.

The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. The time format is HH:MM:SS.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv action change system date-time 2023-12-04 2:33:30

nv action import system security ca-certificate <cert-id>

Imports a CA certificate.

Cumulus Linux includes a self-signed certificate and private key to use on the server so that it works out of the box. The switch generates the self-signed certificate and private key when it boots for the first time. The X.509 certificate with the public key is in /etc/ssl/certs/cumulus.pem and the corresponding private key is in /etc/ssl/private/cumulus.key.

NVIDIA recommends you use your own certificates and keys.

  • You can import a maximum of 50 CA certificates on the switch.
  • The CA certificate you import contains sensitive private key information. NVIDIA recommends that you use a secure transport such as SFTP, SCP, or HTTPS.
  • If the certificate is passphrase protected, you need to include the passphrase.
  • You must provide a certificate ID (<cert-id>) to uniquely identify the certificate you import.
