Displaying configuration and state information

Using the info command

The info command shows configuration or state information from the present context. The command can only be executed in a configuration mode for a configuration region or for the state branch. By default, all configured parameters in the candidate configuration datastore are displayed for a configuration region. For a state region, all elements that have a value are displayed.

Table 1. Displaying configuration from configuration groups and third-party models with info options
Usage Info option Datastore Nokia configuration Configuration groups Third-party model configuration
Display third-party configuration converted to Nokia configuration converted Running Nokia and converted third-party configuration with origin comments groups and unexpanded apply-groups statements —
Display the configuration with configuration groups inheritance inheritance Any ✓ groups and expanded apply-groups statements with origin comments Native format
Display third-party configuration converted to Nokia configuration with configuration groups inheritance converted inheritance Running Nokia and converted third-party configuration with origin comments groups and expanded apply-groups statements with origin comments —
Display the expanded configuration applied by the router intended Intended ✓ Expanded configuration without groups or apply-groups statements or origin comments Native format
Note: The converted and model options are only available when configure system management-interface yang-modules openconfig-modules is set to true.
Note: The output of info flat and info full-context display braces relative to the context from which the command is executed so that the session remains in the context if the output is pasted.

Execute the command from the configuration root to stay at the root context without navigating.

Note: As indicated in the choice statement, the flat, json, and xml options are mutually exclusive options. Other unsupported combinations include:

  • [from] candidate and converted

  • [from] intended and converted

  • [from] intended and detail

  • [from] intended and inheritance

  • full-context and flat

  • model and detail

  • model and inheritance

  • units and json

  • units and xml

The order of the configuration output is as follows:

  • Keys are displayed on the same line as the command element.

  • apply-groups is displayed, if applicable.

  • apply-groups-exclude is displayed, if applicable.

  • admin-state is displayed, if applicable.

  • description is displayed, if applicable.

  • Other top-level elements are displayed in alphabetical order.

Displaying configured information

The following displays configured information for configure router bgp.

*[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info
    connect-retry 90
    local-preference 250
    add-paths {
        ipv4 {
            receive true
        }
    }

The following output displays the same information in JSON IETF format.

[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info json
{
    "nokia-conf:connect-retry": 90,
    "nokia-conf:local-preference": 250,
    "nokia-conf:add-paths": {
        "ipv4": {
            "receive": true
        }
    }
}

The following output displays the same information in XML format:

[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info xml
<connect-retry xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">90</connect-retry>
<local-preference xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">250</local-preference>
<add-paths xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">
    <ipv4>
        <receive>true</receive>
    </ipv4>
</add-paths>

The configuration output can display all elements that are configured, even if an element is set to the system default state or value. The detail option displays all data for the context, including default configurations. The double hash (##) indicates an unconfigured element or a dynamic default.

Displaying all configured elements

*[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info detail
 ## apply-groups
    admin-state enable
 ## description
    connect-retry 90
    keepalive 30
    damping false
    local-preference 250
    loop-detect ignore-loop
    loop-detect-threshold 0
    selective-label-ipv4-install false
    min-route-advertisement 30
    aggregator-id-zero false
    preference 170
    block-prefix-sid false
 ## multihop
 ## med-out
 ## authentication-key
    client-reflect true
    vpn-apply-export false
    vpn-apply-import false
    asn-4-byte true

When using the info command with both the detail and xml options, the double hash (##) elements (indicating unconfigured elements or dynamic defaults) are enclosed within XML comments.

Using the detail and xml options

*[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp] 
A:admin@node-2# info detail xml
<!-- ## apply-groups -->
<!-- ## apply-groups-exclude -->
<admin-state xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">enable</admin-state>
<!-- ## description -->
<connect-retry xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">90</connect-retry>
<keepalive xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">30</keepalive>
<damping xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">false</damping>
<local-preference xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">250</local-preference>

...

When using the info command with both detail and json options, the output does not include unconfigured elements. Unconfigured elements in the MD-CLI are denoted with ## and there is no standard method of displaying comments within the JSON format.

Using the detail and json options

[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info detail json
{
    "nokia-conf:admin-state": "enable",
    "nokia-conf:connect-retry": 90,
    "nokia-conf:keepalive": 30,
    "nokia-conf:damping": false,
    "nokia-conf:local-preference": 250,
    "nokia-conf:loop-detect": "ignore-loop",
    "nokia-conf:loop-detect-threshold": 0,
    "nokia-conf:selective-label-ipv4-install": false,
    "nokia-conf:min-route-advertisement": 30,
    "nokia-conf:aggregator-id-zero": false,
    "nokia-conf:preference": 170,
    "nokia-conf:block-prefix-sid": false,
    "nokia-conf:client-reflect": true,
    "nokia-conf:vpn-apply-export": false,
    "nokia-conf:vpn-apply-import": false,
    "nokia-conf:asn-4-byte": true,
    "nokia-conf:path-mtu-discovery": false,
    "nokia-conf:enforce-first-as": false,
    "nokia-conf:initial-send-delay-zero": false,
    "nokia-conf:inter-as-vpn": false,
    "nokia-conf:purge-timer": 10,
    "nokia-conf:route-table-install": true,

...

The flat option displays the context of every element in the present working context on a single line. Braces ensure that the context stays in the present working context for copy and paste purposes.

Using the flat option

*[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info flat
connect-retry 90
    local-preference 250
    add-paths ipv4 receive true

The full-context option displays the full context of every element from the present working context on a single line.

Using the full-context option

*[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@cses-V93# info full-context
    /configure router "Base" bgp connect-retry 90
    /configure router "Base" bgp local-preference 250
    /configure router "Base" bgp add-paths ipv4 receive true

When the full-context option is used in conjunction with the json or xml option, the output is modified to display the configuration back to the YANG model-aware root of the configuration tree.

Using the full-context option with the json or xml option

[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info full-context json
{
    "nokia-conf:configure": {
        "router": [
            {
                "router-name": "Base",
                "bgp": {
                    "connect-retry": 90,
                    "local-preference": 250,
                    "add-paths": {
                        "ipv4": {
                            "receive": true
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

[ex:/configure router "Base" bgp]
A:admin@node-2# info full-context xml
<configure xmlns="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:conf" xmlns:nokia-attr="urn:nokia.com:sros:ns:yang:sr:attributes">
    <router>
        <router-name>Base</router-name>
        <bgp>
            <connect-retry>90</connect-retry>
            <local-preference>250</local-preference>
            <add-paths>
                <ipv4>
                    <receive>true</receive>
                </ipv4>
            </add-paths>
        </bgp>
    </router>
</configure>

The depth option displays configuration from the present working context limited to the specified depth. Use this option to suppress output that is lower in the hierarchy. For example, if the present working context is configure, the depths of the commands are:

  • configure router = 1
  • configure router description = 2
  • configure router interface description = 3

Using the depth option

[ex:/configure router "Base"]
A:admin@node-2# info depth 1
    autonomous-system 65816
    router-id 172.16.255.0
    }
    interface "system" {
    }
    bgp {
    }
    isis 0 {
    }

Displaying lists

The info command requires the user to enter a list key name. Users can enter the wildcard asterisk (*) character, a range, or a regular expression instead of a list key name to display a subset of keys with one command. For more information, see Using expressions in commands.

Displaying lists with a list key name

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info sfm 1
    sfm-type sfm-s

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info sfm 2
    mda-type sfm-s

Displaying lists with the wildcard * character

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info sfm *
    sfm 1 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }
    sfm 2 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }
    sfm 3 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }
    sfm 4 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }

Displaying lists with a range

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info sfm [3..4]
    sfm 3 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }
    sfm 4 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info sfm [1,3]
    sfm 1 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }
    sfm 3 {
        sfm-type sfm-s
    }

[ex:/configure]
A:admin@node-2# info port 1/1/[1..3]
    port 1/1/1 {
        admin-state enable
    }
    port 1/1/2 {
        admin-state enable
    }
    port 1/1/3 {
        admin-state enable
   }

Displaying lists with a regular expression

[ex:/configure router "Base"] 
A:admin@node-23# info interface 'sys'
 interface "system" {
     ipv4 {
         primary {
             address 172.16.255.0
             prefix-length 32
         }
      }
  }

The info command always displays all keys of the list on the same line. The first key of a list is unnamed in the MD-CLI, however, there are exceptions where the key is named and must be entered. (See the online help for the correct command syntax , or the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR MD-CLI Command Reference Guide). All other keys are named.

For example, the collector list has two keys, ip-address and port. The name of the first key, ip-address, does not appear in the info display. The name of the second key and any subsequent keys are always displayed.

*[ex:/configure cflowd]
A:admin@node-2# info
    collector 10.10.20.30 port 7 {
    }
    collector 10.10.30.40 port 8 {
    }

Using operational commands

The clear, monitor, show, and tools commands in the MD-CLI display the same information and provide the same functionality as they do in the classic CLI. No additional outputs or enhancements are included in the MD-CLI. See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Clear, Monitor, Show, and Tools CLI Command Reference Guide for more information about the SR OS CLI commands that are used to manage the SR OS in either CLI engine.

The information in the output of the show commands can also be found in the state and configure branches of the MD-CLI (as well as via model-driven interfaces such as NETCONF and gRPC). The show commands, however, are different from the YANG state output.

The YANG state is fully modeled and structured data that can be easily manipulated by tools and applications (including pySROS and NETCONF clients). The report-style output of the show commands contains useful combinations of configuration and state, but the information is not modeled or structured. The pySROS and MD-CLI command alias features can be used together to create custom show commands using the modeled data. See Command aliases for more information.

Note: Follow the classic CLI context when using the show command. For example, route policy information is displayed using the show router policy command in both the MD-CLI and classic CLI engines, even though this information is configured in the configure policy-options context in the MD-CLI and in the configure router policy-options context in the classic CLI.

The following classic CLI show commands are not available in the MD-CLI and have equivalent commands:

  • show alias

    Use the MD-CLI info detail environment command-alias command.

  • show bof

    Use the MD-CLI admin show configuration bof command or the info command in the bof configuration region.

  • show debug

    Use the MD-CLI admin show configuration debug command or the info command in the debug configuration region.

  • show system candidate

    Use the MD-CLI info command in a configuration mode.

  • show system rollback

    Use the MD-CLI show system management-interface commit-history command.

Displaying state information

The same navigation commands used in a configuration region are available in the MD-CLI state tree. Online ? help and command completion functionality are also available. The state tree information can be displayed using the info command.

Note: The converted, inheritance, and model options are not supported for state elements.

Output displays information from the state tree

The following output displays information from the state tree using the info command, with the time format defined in RFC 1123.

Displaying configuration with admin commands

The admin show commands display the same configuration as the info command but are not subject to command authorization and do not require configuration mode access.

See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR MD-CLI Command Reference Guide for information about the admin commands in the MD-CLI.

The following examples show the admin show configuration output of the running configuration in the default configuration region (configure). Other configuration regions can also be specified, including bof, debug, and li.
