CLI

Command

  • Prompt: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ROUTER1#

    • RP: Type of interface card: RP is Route Processor

    • 0: Rack number in a multi-shelf system, 0 for single rack chassis

    • RSP0: Route Switch Processor, either RSP0 or RSP1

    • CPU0: Module

    • Router:

  • Prompt: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ROUTER1# admin: change to System Admin Execution Mode

    • sysadmin-vm:0_RP0#

  • show user group: view groups current user is member of

  • show user task: view task permissions

  • describe show bgp summary: view group and permission required for a specific

  • show redundancy

  • show platform

  • Cisco IOS XR uses a two-stage configuration model. In the first stage, configurations are built using commands in the CLI, and in the second stage, the configurations are committed to the router.

  • show configuration changes: displays configuration changes to be made which is teh diffirence between target and running configuration

  • show configuration commit changes: Displays the changes that are made to the running configuration by previous configuration commits.

  • show configuration rollback changes: Displays the list of commands that will be executed as part of the rollback procedure

  • abort: Discards all uncommitted changes and exits configuration mode

  • clear: Discards all uncommitted changes without exiting configuration mode.

  • show configuration failed: view configuraiton that failed commit

  • show configuration commit list: review the history of configuration changes by listing past commits

  • rollback configuration { last number-of-commits | to commit-id}

  • configuration commit auto-save filename sftp://user1@server1://test-folder/test_123.txt: saves the configuration to the specified location after every commit is made.

Users and Groups

  • In Cisco IOS XR, the following user groups are typically predefined:

    • Root-system: Root system users

    • Root-lr: Root logical router users

    • Netadmin: Network administrators

    • Sysadmin: System administrators

    • Operator: Operators performing day-to-day activities

    • Cisco-support: Highest level of privilege allowing lowest level access

Management Port

  • Physical port Ethernet 0 and Ethernet 1 on Route Processors (RPs) are the management ports.

  • On multichassis systems, each RP has its own Management port, and they need to be configured independently for each rack, slot, or port. If there are two RPs, it is convenient to have one management IP for both, so you can create a virtual address for a vrf.
