NAME

nodel2traceroute - returns the layer 2 route through an Ethernet network managed by confluent given 2 end points.

SYNOPSIS

nodel2traceroute [options] <start_node> <end_noderange>

DESCRIPTION

nodel2traceroute is a command that returns the layer 2 route for the configered interfaces in nodeattrib. It can also be used with the -i and -e options to check against specific interfaces on the endpoints. If the --interface or --eface option are not used then the command will check for routes against all the defined interfaces in nodeattrib (net.*.switch) for the nodes.

PREREQUISITES

nodel2traceroute the net.interface.switch attributes have to be set on the end points if endpoint is not a switch

OPTIONS

  • ` -e` EFACE, --eface=INTERFACE interface to check against for the second end point or end points if using checking against multiple nodes
  • ` -i` INTERFACE, --interface=INTERFACE interface to check against for the first end point
  • ` -c` CUMULUS, --cumulus=CUMULUS return layer 2 route through cumulus switches only
  • -h, --help:
    Show help message and exit

EXAMPLES

Checking route between two nodes:
# nodel2traceroute n244 n1851
n244 to n1851: ['switch114']
Checking route from one node to multiple nodes:
# nodel2traceroute n244 n1833,n1851
n244 to n1833: ['switch114', 'switch7', 'switch32', 'switch253', 'switch85', 'switch72', 'switch21', 'switch2', 'switch96', 'switch103', 'switch115'] n244 to n1851: ['switch114']
