show commands help

Hi, can anyone help me whats the configuration counterpart of the following syntax below?

• monitoring of interface traffic, actual TX/RX rate (in Cisco, Junos, etc. it is "show interfaces"
• show logging. ("show logging" in Cisco)
• show port flaps (show interface in Cisco as well)
• show arp (Check interfaces arp)

@paolobyte you have to put in some effort in reading the documentation….right?

https://docs.netgate.com/tnsr/en/latest/monitoring/interfaces.html#interfaces-monitor

wow, some sarcasm there and assumption that I did not read that documentation.

Tell me which part of that documentation answered my question that shows interface traffic TX/RX rate? That documentation only shows counters.

@paolobyte There isn't anything computed on the interfaces over time. You will need to import the values into an NMS that provides the information you seek.

[paolobyte]

@Derelict was hoping there is. very useful for actual troubleshooting via CLI. Other vendor has it. Cisco, Juniper, Mikrotik ,Vyos. its just odd that TNSR dont have it?

I'm going to put it in NMS either way but having real time statistics on RX/TX rate is very useful

Arp is just arp so arp -a would give you the full list.

Logs can be found in ls /var/log so grep from there.

Interfaces are accessed via ifconfig so ifconfig -a would give you the full list.

The pfSense GUI gives you a brace of monitoring tools for things like actual TX/RX rate, which are also exportable. The pfinfo tool under the GUI diagnostics page is also pretty handy for looking at traffic.

Yes, I am also new to pfSense; I ran into helpful people straight away.

In the TNSR CLI, ARP and NDP are both handled by show neighbor

Port flaps/link changes aren't counted in statistics that I'm aware of.

Logging is all in the OS, so however you prefer to look through systemd logs, most things would be under clixon-backend or vpp, so you can do things like sudo journalctl -xleu vpp

@RobbieTT Thank you so much. I am using TNSR btw not pfsense
IFconfig displays the host interfaces only
Do you see syslog messages generated by TNSR under /var/log? I can't see on my end. Im pertaining to bgp flap logs, ospf flap logs, etc.

[paolobyte]

@jimp thank you for your reply.
show neighbor is exactly what I need. thank you so much for that.
how do you access logs through clixon-backend or vpp?

My apologies for not noting the TNSR. I think I may have been distracted by the way you had been offered your hat, coat and pointed at the exit.

Good to see some proper help being given.

@paolobyte average 5 min speed will added soon under "show interface"
