show nodealias

Use this command to display node alias properties for one or more ports.

Syntax

show nodealias [port-string]

Parameters

port-string (Optional) Displays node alias properties for specific port(s).

Defaults

If port-string is not specified, node alias properties will be displayed for all ports.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

Node aliases are dynamically assigned upon packet reception to ports enabled with an alias agent, which is the default setting on Extreme Networks S- K- and 7100-Series devices. Node aliases cannot be statically created, but can be deleted using the clear node alias command (clear nodealias).

Example

This example (a portion of the command output) shows how to display node alias properties for all ports:

System(rw)->show nodealias
Port:  ge.1.13   Time:   2008-12-19 14:03:46
--------------------------------------------------------
Alias ID         = 0               Active           = true
Vlan ID          = 1               MAC Address      = 00-ed-c0-00-00-1a
Protocol         = bpdu
Port:   ge.1.4   Time:   2008-12-19 14:03:52
--------------------------------------------------------
Alias ID         = 1               Active           = true
Vlan ID          = 1               MAC Address      = 00-01-f4-2b-3e-45
Protocol         = ospf
Port:   ge.1.4   Time:   2008-12-19 14:03:52
--------------------------------------------------------
Alias ID         = 2               Active           = true
Vlan ID          = 1               MAC Address      = 00-01-f4-2b-3e-45
Protocol         = ip              Source IP        = 110.1.1.110
