As i had some struggle to find the right command, i will share it here 🙂
admin@aci-lab-apic01:~> acidiag reboot Broadcast message from root@aci-lab-apic01 (unknown) at 15:31 ... The system is going down for reboot NOW!
So be ready, there is no warning/confirmation!
With the introduction of the NX-OS Cli, cisco changed the way how you connect to leaf/spine switches.
Find my updated post here.
There are several scenarios where you want to connect to your leaf and spine switches of the ACI fabric.
In this example we want to checkout the BGP Status.
First you connect to your APIC Controller through SSH:
$ ssh admin@10.32.5.100 Application Policy Infrastructure Controller admin@10.32.5.100's password: admin@aci-lab-apic01:~>
Beside of your number and that you’re recognised as CCIE you also get some small perks from Cisco:
CCIE Certification Kit
You will get a CCIE Certification Kit, after i got mine i will blog about it for sure!
According to cisco it includes:
- Congratulatory letter from John Chambers
- Certificate of achievement
- Personalized CCIE plaque
- CCIE badge pull
- CCIE sticker set
- Certification resource document
I will post the whole package and its content after i received my Certification Kit
As we all know, the Question mark in IOS is used as interactive help, but what about a ? in a password?
This could for example be a task in your CCIE Lab or at least in on of the many preparation labs.
To use the ? literal just enter crtl+v and then ?
Rack1SW3(config)#username cisco password SECR? LINE <cr>
ctrl+v ?
Rack1SW3(config)#username cisco password SECR? Rack1SW3(config)#
Easy stuff but good to know!
Of course the ? can also be used in ACL Names, Route-maps, etc…
Nice overview of Cisco IOSÂ shortcuts, will try to add more!
