cumulus linux > netq > topology & inventory check
netq can monitor the complete network from a dedicated server or from any node in the network, with the same syntax/command
note: spine and leaf refer to a network switch, with a spine being on top of the hierarchy like a core/distribution switch, leaf at the bottom like an access/edge switch, | more is used to truncate output
to get the complete topology of the network, with each row representing a link
to find the links between spine02 and leaf01
this shows spine02 swp1 is connected to leaf01 swp52
to check the lldp information only of hosts whose names begin with the letter l using wildcard (in this case all the leaf switches)however, the lldp command doesn’t show the exact connectivity of the out of band management ports – eth0, it could be at times partially correct
for a brief check on the complete inventoryto see the versions of operating system installed
