show topology script

[JuPo]

Hi guys,

I created simple script to list topology of a gateway/cluster object. Scripts lists a table containing name and type of the interface, virtual IP + mask, cluster members IP + mask, zone, anti-spoofing mode, topology type, and comment.

This is an alternative to a table that is available in the SmartConsole -> GW object -> Network Management. Unfortunately this table lacks zone, anti-spoofing and topology information.

Script uses API (mgmt_cli) and has to be run on management server. You can name the script whatever you want, I use show-topo in the example. Running the script without an argument lists all gateways/clusters managed by management server. Spark gateways (SMB) are not supported, since API lacks support for this.

Version 1.2: Initial Check Mates version

Version 1.3: Removed limit for 50 interfaces

 

Usage

show-topo

Enjoy

I recommend to add environment checks. Btw, I created similar tools:

• One-liner for Address Spoofing Troubleshooting
• SmartConsole Extension: Show Interface Topology for Gateways

@_Val_ possible Toolbox inclusion

I know. The author did not respond yet to my call from the last week. Before that, it will stay here. @JuPo, kind reminder, you need to answer my email, please

Sorry @_Val_ , just sent you an email.

Hi @JuPo ,
"limit-interfaces 0" in show simple-gateway and show simple-cluster seems not to do what it's intended to.
IMO this should be changed to 500 for simple-cluster and removed for simple-gateway since it does not have this argument at all.

Hi @bernhard_m ,

you are right for a "simple-gateway" - it is a bug. For "simple-cluster" I believe that 0 used to be no limit (all interfaces  listed).

Hi @JuPo , in my test i had to change this line to "limit-interfaces 500". Otherwise the members interfaces were not included in /tmp/json...
