APIC CLI to list up FEX

[solman]

Is there any way to list up FEX in fabric instead of going one leaf by one leaf?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @solman ,

By "list up" I assume you want a CLI command. (Not that I know of a way to do it in the GUI anyway)

So try this one - a bit ugly, but it does what you askked.

moquery -c eqptExtCh

You can make it a bit tidier with egrep

moquery -c eqptExtCh  | egrep "^id|^dn"

or 

 moquery -c eqptExtCh | egrep "^id|^dn|^descr"

Here's one I cooked in our lab

apic1# moquery -c eqptExtCh | egrep "^id|^dn|^descr"
id                     : 191
descr                  : Fabric Extender 48x1GE + 4x10G Module
dn                     : topology/pod-1/node-1201/sys/extch-191
id                     : 192
descr                  : Fabric Extender 48x1GE + 4x10G Module
dn                     : topology/pod-1/node-1202/sys/extch-192

If you want to know more about moquery, try this google search

I hope this helps

Hi @solman 

Moquery is without question much faster option compared with what I will write below, this is in case you know the class/mo you want to query.

On the other hand, if you do not know the class/mo and you do not want to go through the GUI to find it out, or you simply want to use the NXOS type of outputs, you have this alternative:

apic1# fabric 101,111 show  fex
----------------------------------------------------------------
 Node 101 (Leaf101)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  FEX         FEX           FEX                       FEX                 
Number    Description      State            Model              Serial     
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
101       FEX0101          Online           N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE  XXXXXXXXXXX

----------------------------------------------------------------
 Node 111 (Leaf111)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  FEX         FEX           FEX                       FEX                 
Number    Description      State            Model              Serial     
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
111       FEX0111          Online           N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE  XXXXXXXXXXX

You only need to specify the leafs you want to interrogate. basically, you run the "show" command against each of the mentioned leaf switches.

Stay safe,
