C Commands

This topic includes all commands that begin with netq c*, including all netq check and netq config commands.

About Validation Commands

Three sets of validation commands are available, all for verifying the health and performance of network protocols and services:

  • The original on-demand validation commands. These commands all begin with netq check. You use them to validate various elements in your network fabric at the current time or a time in the past. They allow filtering by hostname, can include or exclude selected tests, and some have additional options. The results appear in the NetQ CLI immediately.
  • Use the newer set of validation commands to create on-demand or scheduled validations with the results appearing in the NetQ UI Validation Result cards. These commands begin with netq add validation. You use them to validate various elements in your network fabric currently or on a regular basis. No filtering on results is available within the commands as you do that through the NetQ UI.
  • The validation management commands. These present a list of all jobs and job settings, and the ability to remove validations.

Refer to Validation Checks for a description of the tests run as part of each validation. This topic describes the netq check commands, with the others described elsewhere based on the command names.

About Config Commands

You must run the netq config commands with sudo privileges.

netq check agents

Validates the communication status of all nodes (leafs, spines, and hosts) running the NetQ Agent in your network fabric. The output displays the status (passed/failed/skipped) of all tests and a summary including:

  • Total number of nodes found
  • Number of nodes validated
  • Number of nodes that failed the validation
  • Number of nodes that have been silent for 90 seconds (rotten)
  • Number of nodes with warnings

netq check bgp

Validates that all configured route peering is established in your network fabric by looking for consistency across BGP sessions; in particular, whether duplicate router IDs exist and if any sessions are in the unestablished state. If you have nodes that implement virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), you can request status based on the relevant routing table. VRF is commonly configured in multi-tenancy deployments to maintain separate domains for each tenant.

The output displays the status (passed/failed/skipped) of all tests and a summary including:

  • Total number of nodes found
  • Number of nodes validated
  • Number of nodes that failed the validation
  • Number of nodes that have been silent for 90 seconds (rotten)
  • Number of nodes with warnings
  • Total number of BGP sessions at the specified time
  • Number of sessions that have failed to establish a connection

netq check mlag

Verifies MLAG session consistency by identifying all MLAG peers with errors or misconfigurations in the NetQ domain. In particular, it looks for such items as:

  • multiple link pairs with the same system MAC address
  • any interfaces with only a single attachment
  • peer connectivity
  • conflicted bonds
  • whether the backup IP address is pointing to the correct peer

The output displays the status (passed/failed/skipped) of all tests and a summary including:

  • Total number of nodes found
  • Number of nodes validated
  • Number of nodes that failed the validation
  • Number of nodes that have been silent for 90 seconds (rotten)
  • Number of nodes with warnings

netq check mtu

Verifies consistency of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) across all links in your network fabric. The command verifies the MTU consistency at the level appropriate to the specific type of link. For example, bond interfaces have their MTU enforced at the bond level and not at the individual slave level. For MLAG/CLAG bonds, verification confirms whether both ends of the bond have the same MTU value configured for their local instance of the bond. You can also view nodes without a peer link.

The output displays the status (passed/failed/skipped) of all tests and a summary including:

  • Total number of nodes found
  • Number of nodes validated
  • Number of nodes that failed validation
  • Number of nodes that have been silent for 90 seconds (rotten)
  • Number of nodes with warnings
  • Number of links validated
  • Number of links that failed validation
  • Number of links that had warnings

netq check ntp

Verifies network time synchronization using NTP for all nodes (leafs, spines, and hosts) in your network fabric. Nodes that are not in time synchronization with the NetQ appliance or VM might report data with an incorrect timestamp or lose communication altogether.

The output displays the status (passed/failed/skipped) of all tests and a summary including:

  • Total number of nodes found
  • Number of nodes validated
  • Number of nodes that failed validation
  • Number of nodes that have been silent for 90 seconds (rotten)
  • Number of nodes with warnings
  • Number of nodes found that are unknown to NetQ
  • Number of NTP servers available for synchronization

netq config add agent wjh-threshold

WJH latency and congestion metrics depend on threshold settings to trigger the events. NetQ measures packet latency as the time spent inside a single system (switch). It measures congestion as a percentage of buffer occupancy on the switch. When configured, the NetQ Agent collects and sends these WJH triggered events when a metric crosses the high and low thresholds.

This command only applies to NVIDIA Spectrum switches.

Syntax

netq config add agent wjh-threshold
    (latency|congestion)
    (<text-tc-list>|all)
    (<text-port-list>|all)
    <text-th-hi>
    <text-th-lo>

Required Arguments

Argument Value Description
wjh-threshold NA Collect and send WJH latency or congestion events triggered by the specified high and low thresholds
latency NA Collect and send WJH latency events
congestion NA Collect and send WJH congestion events
NA <text-tc-list> or all Only send events for these traffic classes, or use all for all traffic classes. When you desire more than one traffic class, you should format this value should as a comma-separated list, without spaces.
NA <text-port-list> or all Only send events occurring on these ports, or use all for all ports. When you desire more than one port, you should format this value as a comma-separated list, without spaces. For example swp1,swp2,swp3,swp4.
NA <text-th-hi> Trigger an event when the latency is greater than this amount of time, or when buffer occupancy is greater than this percentage.
NA <text-th-lo> Trigger an event when the latency is less than this amount of time, or when buffer occupancy is less than this percentage.

netq config add cli server

Configures the NetQ CLI on the switch or host where you run this command. Cloud deployments require the access-key and secret-key options or the cli-keys-file option, as well as the premises option.

When the NetQ CLI is not configured, you can run only netq config and netq help commands, and you must use sudo to run them.

For additional configuration information, refer to the NetQ User Guide.

Syntax

netq config add cli server
    <text-gateway-dest>
    [access-key <text-access-key> secret-key <text-secret-key> premises <text-premises-name> | cli-keys-file <text-key-file> premises <text-premises-name>]

secret-key <text-secret-key> Secret key obtained from NetQ UI for cloud/remote deployments
premises <text-premises-name> Name of the premises with the data you want to monitor. When you have multiple premises, you must run this command again to view data from another premises.
cli-keys-file <text-key-file> Use the access and secret keys contained in this file for cloud/remote deployments, rather than providing keys individually. Value must include entire path to the file.

Options

Argument Value Description
vrf <text-vrf-name> Use this VRF for communication with the telemetry server (NetQ appliance, VM, or cloud gateway). This should be the same VRF where you set the routing tables for connectivity to the telemetry server. Typically this is the management VRF.
