Cumulus Linux vs Cisco NX-OS Interface Show Commands
Cumulus Linux includes many interface show commands to troubleshoot your switch. While Cumulus Linux is Linux, and the same Linux commands work in the same way, the Cumulus Linux network command line utility shows even more relevant information in a single command.
Show Layer 1 and 2 Interface Status
| Network OS |

| Cumulus Linux |
Show current interface state for all switch ports:
cumulus@switch:~$ net show interface all

IP addresses information for interfaces can be seen a variety of ways in Cumulus Linux. The best way is to use NCLU.
| Network OS |

| Cumulus Linux |
Show current IP addresses for all ports (includes ports with or without an IP address):
cumulus@switch:~$ net show interface

| Cumulus Linux |
Show LLDP neighbors:
cumulus@switch:~$ net show lldp
