How to see neighbors of a physical port?

bezeq_int — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 04:55:02 GMT

Hello,

We're using checkpoint quantum spark 1590 appliance, version R81.10.08,

Wanted to know how to learn the neighboring addresses of a physical port, in juniper for example it's " show lldp neighbors",

Tried using the commands "lldpneighbor" or "show lldp neighbor-info" on normal& expert mode, didn't recognize the command

LLDP is not supported on Quantum Spark appliances.

thanks for the answer,

Is there any other way to find through the port what mac addresses are connected, a command to see what mac the port learns other than "lldp neighbor"?

In Logs and Monitoring > Status > Assets, there should be a list of devices and the interface they are connected to.
Not sure if there’s a CLI command that shows this.

commands like "arp -a" ?

not exactly, arp shows everything that is connected to the device/interface, not the peer itself

Unfortunately we don't have lldp/cdp like command on Spark as others have stated.

Hi,

Please try to use:

sw info hosts
to see all the macs for the vids.

sw info hosts vid X
with X being the vid number to check for specific vid

If this meets your requirements, we can consider adding a clish command for this functionality.

It should be noted @bezeq_int these are expert level commands.
However, it appears that sw info hosts will show information similar to what I see when I go to Logs and Monitoring > Status > Assets in the WebUI.

Are there any plans to support LLDP/CDP protocols in Quantum Spark at some point??

Not familiar with specific plans for this, but it could come as a result of future releases as we synchronize Gaia and Embedded Gaia a bit more.

I'll see what's planned for R81.10.17 and revert.
