Hi Guys, Lots of big changes in Glendale and I'm enjoying them. I did my usual drop test, dropping the Glendale test router into production. I even spiced up my config a bit, adding authentication where possible. So far so good guys. The new version looks exciting, and I can't wait to see the new features that are coming out in the next builds. I have noticed a couple things though. Some of this is probably me still wrapping my mind around this new CLI. It took me a while to find out how to set the OSPF RID, and get redistribution working, so I wouldn't put it past me just not grasping this new CLI yet. So here's my list:
- top doesn't take you to the top of the command line hierarchy, it runs the shell top program. For example if you edit interfaces ethernet eth3, make changes and then type top it runs the top program. -Right now it appears you can't edit service dhcp-server. The command line hierarchy was one of the best features of this CLI, it should be added to everything. I know it's a new command line and I hope this is something you guys are working on. - I think I saw this about the previous release, however it appears to be the same in Glendale. Even if an interface description is set in the command line SNMP returns the following values for interface description: Found item [ifDescr='eth0'] index: 2 [from value]. Interface descriptions are a big deal in the service provider arena; it should be very easy to indentify interfaces by description. Descriptions should show up in the output of show interface system. - You don't seem to be able to use "run" to execute some commands from inside config mode. Just like do in Cisco IOS, run in this CLI is an essential tool that simplifies troubleshooting new configs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping 192.168.20.10 PING 192.168.20.10 (192.168.20.10) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.20.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=6.44 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.20.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.33 ms --- 192.168.20.10 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.335/4.389/6.444/2.055 ms [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ configure ru [edit] [EMAIL PROTECTED] run ping 192.168.20.10 Invalid command [edit] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - There doesn't seem to be a way to run OSPF of VIFs. Please tell me I'm crazy and this is not the case. [EMAIL PROTECTED] set interfaces ethernet eth3 vif 5 address description firewall bridge-group disable vrrp [edit] [EMAIL PROTECTED] set interfaces ethernet eth3 vif 5 - I don't mind the new CLI, however I REALLY miss the ? and the space auto completion. If there is any way we can work to getting that back I would be over the moon. I know there has been some discussion about this, but I figured I'd voice my opinion as well, as late as it is. - I noticed that you're using Quagga as the routing engine. I must admit I'll miss XORP, and it's juniper eque control but I understand that Quagga has more to offer in the way of functionality. Can we use the clear ip ospf to reset the ospf process built into Quagga in the shell? - show ospf4 database self-originate is one of the best commands to troubleshoot ospf with, can we please work towards adding it? All in all guys it looks good. I can't wait to see the builds that are coming soon. Hopefully we can upgrade our Alpha 1 routers to Alpha 2 in place with 'update package' :D. Keep up the good work, Regards, Nick
