Session Management Commands

configure replace

The configure replace command replaces the current configuration with the new configuration from the specified source.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Command Syntax

configure replace {source_file_path:source_file_name | boot-extensions | clean-config | installed-extensions | running-config | startup-config}[ignore-errors] [md5 md5sum] [skip-checkpoint]

Parameters
  • source_file_path:source_file_name replaces the current configuration with the configuration from the specified source file.
  • boot-extensions replace the current configuration with the boot extensions configuration.
  • clean-config replaces the current configuration with clean and default configurations.
  • installed-extensions replace the current configuration with the installed extensions configuration.
  • running-config obsolete.
  • starup-config replaces the current configuration with the startup configuration.
  • ignore-errors ignore errors while loading the new configuration.
  • md5 md5sum performs a checksum to validate data integrity with the specified MD5 hashing algorithm.
  • skip-checkpoint skips creating the checkpoint file of running-config.

Example
This command replaces the current configuration state with the startup configuration.
switch(config)# configure replace start-config
! Preserving static routes. Use 'no ip routing delete-static-routes' to clear
them.
switch#

configure session

The configure session command allows a series of configuration changes made temporarily and commits to running-config later by issuing the commit command. An uncommitted configuration session will be discarded if the switch reboots and will time out after 24 hours.

Note: Committing a configuration session replaces running-config with the session configuration, which consists of the running configuration at the initial session and the commands entered as part of the session. When the session commits, it overwrites any changes to running-config since the initiation.

The no configure session session_name and default configure session session_name commands delete the specified configuration session.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Command Syntax

configure session [session_name]

no configure session session_name

default configure session session_name

Parameter

session_name session name.

Guidelines

  • It creates a session with a name generated by the systems when a session name is not specified.
  • The switch permits up to five uncommitted sessions.
  • When the switch reboots, it discards the uncommitted sessions.
  • Uncommitted sessions time out after 24 hours.
Example
This command creates a session (automatically named sess-1) and adds commands. Issuing the commit command executes all commands and overwrite any configuration performed since the creation of the session.
switch(config)#configure session
switch(config-s-sess-1)#no username kevin
switch(config-s-sess-1)#aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
switch(config-s-sess-1)#dot1x system-auth-control
switch(config-s-sess-1)#copy running-config startup-config
switch(config-s-sess-1)#reload all now
switch(config-s-sess-1)#

domain (XMPP Management)

The domain command configures the switch's XMPP domain name. The XMPP client accepts messages only when using a locally configured domain. It uses the switch's domain name if none is specified.

Management over XMPP is disabled by default. To enable it, you must provide the server's location, domain, username, and password for the switch.

Arista recommends configuring the XMPP domain before the username, because it will provide shortcuts for the switch-group and username so you can configure without the domain attached to it (e.g., USERNAME instead of USERNAME@DOMAIN).

The no domain and default domain commands delete the domain name by removing the domain command from running-config.

Command Mode

Mgmt-xmpp Configuration

Command Syntax

domain string

no domain

default domain

Parameter

string domain name (text string).

Examples
  • This command configures test.aristanetworks.com as the switch’s domain name.
    switch(config)#management xmpp
    test1(config-mgmt-xmpp)#server arista-xmpp
    test1(config-mgmt-xmpp)#domain test.aristanetworks.com
    test1(config-mgmt-xmpp)#username このメールアドレスはスパムボットから保護されています。閲覧するにはJavaScriptを有効にする必要があります。 password 0 arista
    test1(config-mgmt-xmpp)#no shutdown
  • This command removes the domain name from the XMPP configuration.
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)#no domain
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)#

idle-timeout (Console Management)

The idle-timeout (Console Management) command configures the idle-timeout period for console connection sessions.

    % Unavailable command (not supported on this hardware platform)

server (XMPP Management)

The server command adds an XMPP server to running-config. You can set up multiple XMPP servers for redundancy. The XMPP server location should be a DNS name and not a raw IP address for redundant configurations. The DNS server returns the list of available XMPP servers, which the client can use to find an accessible server.

The XMPP server provides the user authentication. EOS local configuration or TACACS+ provides the command authentication. The XMPP server should use the same authentication source as the switches. RADIUS is not supported as an XMPP authorization mechanism.

Theno server and default server commands remove the specified XMPP server from running-config.

Command Mode

session privilege (XMPP Management)

The session privilege command will place the user in EXEC mode. By default, the initial privilege level is meaningless. However, with the configuration of roles, users can add meaning to the different privilege levels. By default, XMPP does not limit access to any command.

Level 1-15: Commands accessible from EXEC Mode.

If AAA is not configured and the switch is configured to connect to the XMPP client, any message received is executed with privilege level 1 by default.

The no session privilege and default session privilege commands revert the list contents to none for the specified privilege levels.

Command Mode

Mgmt-xmpp Configuration

Command Syntax

switch-group name SECURITY

no switch-group

default switch-group

Parameters
  • name Group name text that the user enters at the login prompt to access the CLI. To enter multiple names in a single command, separate them with spaces.

    Valid usernames begin with A-Z, a-z, or 0-9 and may also contain any of these characters:

    @ # $ % ^ & * - _ = + ; < > ,. ~ |

  • SECURITY password assignment.
    • password pwd_txt name is protected by a specified password. pwd_txt is a clear-text string.
    • password 0 pwd_txt name is protected by a specified password. pwd_txt is a clear-text string.
    • password 7 pwd_txt name is protected by a specified password. pwd_txt is encrypted string.

Guidelines
  • A switch group is an arbitrary grouping of switches within the network belonging to one chat group.
  • In order to belong to one or more switch groups, the switch has to be manually assigned to it.
  • Switch groups are defined dynamically based on the configuration of all of the switches in the network.
  • As per the multi-user chat XMPP standard (XEP-0045), switch groups have the full name of このメールアドレスはスパムボットから保護されています。閲覧するにはJavaScriptを有効にする必要があります。.
  • All CLI commands allow either the full group name or the short name, which are appended the @conference.DOMAIN.
  • You must configure each group with a separate command if the switch belongs to multiple chat rooms.

Examples
  • These commands configure the switch-group to be part of the chat room.
    switch(config)# management xmpp
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# switch-group 
    このメールアドレスはスパムボットから保護されています。閲覧するにはJavaScriptを有効にする必要があります。 password 0 arista

  • Use the show xmpp switch-group to verify the active switch-group for the switch.
    switch# show xmpp switch-group
    このメールアドレスはスパムボットから保護されています。閲覧するにはJavaScriptを有効にする必要があります。

username (XMPP Management)

The username command configures the switch's username and password on the XMPP server.

The no username and default username commands delete the specified username by removing the corresponding username statement from running-config.

Command Mode

Mgmt-xmpp Configuration

Command Syntax

username name SECURITY

no username

default username

Parameters
  • name username text that defines the XMPP username and password.

    Valid usernames begin with A-Z, a-z, or 0-9 and may also contain any of these characters:

    @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + { } [ ] ; < > ,. ~ |

  • SECURITY password assignment.
    • password pwd_txt name specifies and unencrypted shared key. pwd_txt is a clear-text string.
    • password 0 pwd_txt name specifies and unencrypted key. pwd_txt is a clear-text string.
    • password 7 pwd_txt name specifies a hidden key. pwd_txt is an encrypted string.

Guidelines

Encrypted strings entered through this parameter are generated elsewhere. The password 7 option (SECURITY) is typically used to enter a list of username-passwords from a script.

Examples
  • These commands create the username and assign it a password. The password is entered in clear text because the parameter is set to 0.
    switch(config)# management xmpp
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# server arista-xmpp
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# domain test.aristanetworks.com
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# username このメールアドレスはスパムボットから保護されています。閲覧するにはJavaScriptを有効にする必要があります。 password 0 arista
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# no shutdown

  • This command removes all usernames from the XMPP server.
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)# no username 
    switch(config-mgmt-xmpp)#

xmpp send

The xmpp send command can connect to the XMPP server and send messages to switches or switch groups within the network.

Before switches can send messages, they must be friend with each other. An easy way to have them auto-friend each other is to have them join the same chat room. The show xmpp neighbor command verifies the friendship between switches.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Command Syntax

xmpp send to neighbor XMIT_TYPE content

Parameters
  • neighbor Options include switches or switch groups within the network that are connected as friends in a chat room.
  • XMIT_TYPE Transmission type. Valid options include:
    • command Sends an XMPP command.
    • message Sends an XMPP message.

  • content The command you want the friends within the chat room to display or execute.

Configuration Restrictions
  • Only enable-mode commands are allowed within the multi-switch CLI.
  • Changing into a different CLI mode and running several commands is not supported (e.g., into configuration mode).
  • An external XMPP client (for example, Adium) sends multiple lines within a single message. By sending multiple lines, it is possible to change to another CLI mode. After the message is processed, the switch automatically returns to the enable mode.
  • Commands that prompt for a response (like reload) are not supported.
  • Long commands, such as image file copies, may cause the switch XMPP client to stop responding and disconnect momentarily. The switch should reconnect, and the long command should be complete.
  • Many command outputs are displayed in a specific table format. Select a mono-spaced font, such as Courier, for the incoming messages to achieve the same visual feel as through a terminal.

Example
This command sends the switch in the chat room the request to execute the show version command.
switch# xmpp send test2 command show version

xmpp session

The xmpp session command is similar to running SSH from the switch. The user must input their username (default isUSER@DEFAULTDOMAIN) and password in order to connect to the XMPP server. This command allows you to interact in the enable mode with a switch or switch group over XMPP using the standard CLI, with access to help and tab completion. All commands are then executed remotely and only the non-empty results are displayed on the screen.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Command Syntax

xmpp session switchgroup

Parameters

switchgroup The option includes the switch group within the network that is connected as friends in a chat room.

Configuration Restrictions
  • Only enable-mode commands are allowed within the multi-switch CLI.
  • Changing into a different CLI mode and running several commands is not supported (e.g., into configuration mode).
  • An external XMPP client (for example, Adium) can send multiple lines within a single message. By sending multiple lines, it is possible to change into another CLI mode. After the message is processed, the switch automatically returns to the enable mode.
