CLI Description Command

Delete IPv4 network route


Delete the specified network IPv4 network route.
del route prefix <prefix> [gateway <gateway-ip>] [interface <interface-name>] [metric <ip-route-metric>]

Delete IPv4 or IPv6 network route


Delete the specified network IPv4 or IPv6 route. Default value for the IPv6 route metric is 1024.
del route prefix <prefix> [gateway <gateway-ip>] [interface <interface-name>] [metric <ip-route-metric>]

Show system ARP or neighbour address table


Display the ARP or neighbour address table.
get arp-table

nslookup


Display nslookup information.
nslookup <hostname-arg>

nslookup


Get DNS lookup information.

Note that when run on an NSX Manager, the responding server is reported as 127.0.0.1 instead of the configured name server.

Ping host


Ping an IP address. Use Control-C to stop the ping command.

Ping host


Ping a host or IP address. Use Control-C to stop the command. Optionally use the repeat argument to specify how many packets to transmit.

Ping host


Ping an IP address. Use Control-C to stop the ping command. The repeat argument specifies how many ping packets to transmit. The size argument specifies the size of the ping packet. The dfbit argument specifies whether to set the "don't fragment" bit in the ping packet. If enabled, the packet will not be fragmented.

The source argument specifies which IP address to ping from. This may be required in some circumstances for ping to work as expected. For example, if there is overlap in IP addresses used in the tier 0 and tier 1 router transit subnets, pings from the tier 0 VRF will not reach virtual machines on networks routed by the tier 1 router.

Create bond interface and set the plane property of the interface and config the IP address. If plane is set to mgmt, it is reported as such to the management plane (MP) via MPA, and the slave devices are not consumed by dataplane for dataplane operations.

You can configure the bond interface with a DHCP or static IP address. If you configure a static IP address, make sure an appropriate network route is also configured.
