Using the CLI on SteelConnect and SteelHead SD
This topic describes the SteelHead SD appliance and SteelConnect gateway command-line interface (CLI). It includes these sections:
Using the CLI on SteelHead SD appliances
Using the CLI on SteelConnect gateways
Using the CLI on SteelHead SD appliances
The SteelHead SD CLI applies to SteelHead SD 570-SD, 770-SD, and 3070-SD appliances, and SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways.
The SteelHead SD CLI provides:
abbreviations for commands. For example, the abbreviation for show cluster_info could be show clust, or show clus, or show clu.
SteelHead SD commands are case sensitive.
autocompletion of commands using the Tab key.

Connecting to the SteelHead SD CLI
You can connect to the SteelHead SD CLI via a telnet session, reverse SSH tunnel, SSH, or using an active uplink primary IP address.
To connect to the SteelHead SD using reverse SSH tunnel in SCM
1. In SCM, choose Organization > SSH > Public SSH keys to add your public SSH keys.
2. Choose Appliances and select the SteelHead SD appliance. The page opens in the Live tab.
3. Scroll to Tunneled Shell Access and click Start Tunnel. SCM provides you with a string that you can use to log in to the appliance. For example:
ssh -o "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" -o "ServerAliveInterval=30" -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" -o "ProxyCommand=nc -X connect -x abc-xyz.riverbed.cc:3903 %h %p" root@XN<serial-number>.abc-xyz.riverbed.cc
4. Paste the string in your terminal emulation program, such as PuTTY or Tera Term Pro. After you are connected you will see:
Warning: Permanently added 'xn<serial-number>.abc-xyz.riverbed.cc' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

show path
Displays path information. In SCM, the path test displays details for up to 50 active flows. When there are more than 50 flows for this filter, a message tells you that they can’t all be shown. To view up to 100 flows, run this CLI command.
Syntax
show paths {dst_prefix <prefix> | appid <id>} [-scm] [-verbose] [-h] [-v]
Parameters
dst_prefix <prefix>
Displays the destination IP address.
app_id <id>
Displays the application ID.
-scm
Displays SCM and trims flow output to 50 lines.
-version
Prints verbose output.
-h
Displays the help message and exits.
-v
Displays the path version number.
Usage
The destination prefix is restricted to /24 or more specific.
When only a destination prefix is specified, the output includes all possible paths for that destination and all flows for that destination.
When only an application ID is specified, the output displays paths and flows only when there are flows on that application. If there are no flows on the application, there is no output.
When both the destination prefix and the application ID are specified, the output displays all possible paths and active flows for that destination prefix and application ID. If no flows for the application are present, the output shows all possible paths based on the destination prefix.
Transit or multiple hop use cases are not supported. For every flow, SCM shows outgoing and incoming WAN data.
IPv6 is not supported.
Overlay paths don’t include path metrics.
Example
XN<serial-number>-CLI:>show path
show physical_ports_config

sysdump
Generates and manages the system dump utility.
Syntax
sysdump {create | upload | list | delete | cleanup} [-h] [-v]
Arguments and options
create
Creates a system dump.
upload
Uploads a system dump to a URL.
list

cleanup
Cleans up all system dumps and their metadata.
-h
Displays online help.
-v
Sets logging level to debug (default = False).
Usage
The information in a system dump can help you diagnose problems. By default, when you request a system dump, it is uploaded to riverbed.support.com. You can specify an external server for uploads in SCM under Organization > System Dump tab.
A maximum of five system dumps can be stored. If a new system dump creation request is received, the appliance will rollover the existing system dumps.
Example
XN<serial-number>-CLI:>sysdump create
tcpdump
Executes the tcpdump utility on any VM interface. You can quickly diagnose problems and take traces for Riverbed Support.
Syntax
tcpdump [run --params <options>] [status] [export] [stop] [list]
Parameters
run --params <options>
The tcpdump utility takes the standard Linux options. For detailed information, see the Linux man page.
status
Displays status of previous tcpdump command.
export
Exports stored tcpdump files to a USB drive.
stop

Syntax
traceroute [options]
Parameters
Parameters
[options]
The traceroute utility takes the standard Linux options. For detailed information, see the Linux manual (man) page.

troubleshoot
Runs the troubleshooting tool on the CVM or hypervisor to provide connectivity information about the core or SCM on all physical ports on the appliance. You can export log files via a USB drive, create log files with a specific name, and list all log files.
Syntax
troubleshoot {[run] | [hyp run] | [export] | [logfile <filename>] | [list]}
Parameters
run
Runs troubleshooting diagnostics on all interfaces.
hyp run
Runs troubleshooting diagnostics on hypervisor.
export
Exports the logs to a USB drive.
logfile <filename>
Specify a custom name to save a log file of the output.
list
Lists all log files.
Usage
The troubleshooting tool runs connectivity tests on the core and all SCM uplink-capable ports. For example, the troubleshoot tool tests the available AUX port and two available uplink ports on a 3070-SD appliance, regardless of whether the IP addresses are configured or whether the cables are connected. Some tests might fail if the IP address isn’t configured or the port isn’t cabled.
Example
XN<serial-number>-CLI:>troubleshoot run

Using the CLI on SteelConnect gateways
The SteelConnect gateway CLI applies to SteelConnect SDI-130, SDI-330, SDI-1030, and virtual SDI gateways. It provides show commands to help you debug issues and display information about the gateways.
The SteelConnect CLI supports abbreviations for commands. Root shell (bash shell) access is no longer available on SteelConnect gateways. For details on obtaining root shell access, contact Riverbed Support at https://support.riverbed.com.
For SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 CLI commands, see Using the CLI on SteelHead SD appliances.
To display a list of the show commands
At the command prompt enter:
root@XN<serial-number>:/storage# show
show <tunnels> or <frontal substr of tunnels>, the same below
show <flows|connections>
show <paths> --dst_prefix <prefix|host> --appid <id>
show <paths> -d <prefix|host> -a <id>
show help
Connecting to the SteelConnect gateway CLI
You can connect to the SteelConnect gateway CLI using these methods:
You can connect via a reverse tunnel SSH session that you set up in SCM. For details, see To connect to the SteelHead SD using reverse SSH tunnel in SCM.
You can also SSH to the appliance as root@<gateway-uplink-ip>.
These procedures describe how to connect to the gateway CLI as root@<gateway-uplink-ip>.
To connect to the SteelConnect gateway CLI
1. Plug the serial cable into the console port and a terminal.
2. Start your terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro. The terminal device must have these settings:
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
vt100 emulation
No flow control
3. In your terminal emulation program, begin a SSH session as user admin (for example, ssh admin@<SCM_IP_address>) and enter the password.
Using username "admin".
admin@XX.X.XX.XX's password:
