NAME

netdisco-do - Run any Netdisco job from the command-line.

SYNOPSIS

~/bin/netdisco-do <action> [-DISQ] [-d <device> [-p <port>] [-e <extra>]]

DESCRIPTION

This program allows you to run any Netdisco poller job from the command-line.

Note that some jobs (discoverall, macwalk, arpwalk, nbtwalk) simply add entries to the Netdisco job queue for other jobs, so won't seem to do much when you trigger them.

ACTIONS

discover

Run a discover on the device (specified with -d).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do discover -d 192.0.2.1

macsuck

Run a macsuck on the device (specified with -d).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do macsuck -d 192.0.2.1

arpnip

Run an arpnip on the device (specified with -d).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do arpnip -d 192.0.2.1

delete

Delete a device (specified with -d). Pass a log message for the action in the -e parameter. Optionally request for associated nodes to be archived (rather than deleted) by prefixing the -e parameter with "1,".

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do delete -d 192.0.2.1
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do delete -d 192.0.2.1 -e 'older than the sun'
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do delete -d 192.0.2.1 -e '1,older than the sun'

renumber

Change the canonical IP address of a device (specified with -d). Pass the new IP address in the -e parameter. All related records such as topology, log and node information will also be updated to refer to the new device.

Note that no check is made as to whether the new IP is reachable for future polling.

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do renumber -d 192.0.2.1 -e 192.0.2.254

nbtstat

Run an nbtstat on the node (specified with -d).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do nbtstat -d 192.0.2.2

graph

Generate GrapgViz graphs for the largest cluster of devices.

show

Dump the content of an SNMP MIB leaf, which is useful for diagnostics and troubleshooting. You should provide the "-e" option which is the name of the leaf (such as interfaces or uptime).

If you wish to test with a device class other than that discovered, prefix the leaf with the class short name, for example "Layer3::C3550::interfaces" or "Layer2::HP::uptime".

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do show -d 192.0.2.1 -e interfaces
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do show -d 192.0.2.1 -e Layer2::HP::interfaces

psql

Start an interactive terminal with the Netdisco PostgreSQL database. If you pass an SQL statement in the -e option then it will be executed.

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do psql
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do psql -e 'SELECT ip, dns FROM device'
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do psql -e 'COPY (SELECT ip, dns FROM device) TO STDOUT WITH CSV HEADER'

location

Set the SNMP location field on the device (specified with -d). Pass the location string in the -e extra parameter.

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do location -d 192.0.2.1 -e 'wiring closet'

contact

Set the SNMP contact field on the device (specified with -d). Pass the contact name in the -e extra parameter.

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do contact -d 192.0.2.1 -e 'tel: 555-2453'

portname

Set the description on a device port. Requires the -d parameter (device), -p parameter (port), and -e parameter (description).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do portname -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e 'Web Server'

portcontrol

Set the up/down status on a device port. Requires the -d parameter (device), -p parameter (port), and -e parameter ("up" or "down").

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do portcontrol -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e up
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do portcontrol -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e down

vlan

Set the native VLAN on a device port. Requires the -d parameter (device), -p parameter (port), and -e parameter (VLAN number).

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do vlan -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e 102

power

Set the PoE on/off status on a device port. Requires the -d parameter (device), -p parameter (port), and -e parameter ("on" or "off").

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do power -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e on
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do power -d 192.0.2.1 -p FastEthernet0/1 -e off

DEBUG LEVELS

-D

Netdisco debug log level

-I or -II

SNMP::Info trace level (1 or 2).

-S or -SS or -SSS

SNMP (net-snmp) trace level (1, 2 or 3).
