Managing Devices

Talk to Us

To begin managing devices, let's delve into the NSO CLI and understand how to utilize it effectively:

ncs_cli -u admin -C

The NSO CLI is available in both "Juniper-style" and "Cisco-style" variants. For this session, we'll focus solely on the Cisco style.

Our initial step involves synchronizing NSO with our simulated devices. This action ensures that all network configurations are updated within the NSO Configuration Database (CDB). Execute the following command to initiate synchronization:

devices sync-from

Upon successful execution, the CLI will confirm the synchronization of our two devices, namely ios0 and ios1.

NSO maintains a copy of device configurations in its CDB. You can swiftly verify the synchronization status of devices using the command:

devices device ios1 check-sync

This command will provide insights into whether the devices are synchronized or not.
