Finding unused ports specifically for Nexus Switches

[ryoung]

For most access switches such as the 9300s I am aware of the show interface link commands as well as a few commands using breaks to get details on how long ports on the switches have been down, often used for pruning, cleanup, freeing up ports for new use etc.

So far in my search I have been unable to find any Nexus 9k specific show commands that would allow an administrator to quickly parse ports that can be pruned based on reported downtime.

Is there any advise on commands for this use case I am not aware of?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I don't appear to have those show commands available on the Nexus 9k in my quick check.

You need to check udp/tcp port or check physical port?

Hoping similar to the show interface Link command on 9300 switches show a report of all physical ports and length of downtime to allow for understanding which connections due to long length of downtime could be physically pruned, cables removed, those types of cleanup operations.

This comamnd is so good in troubleshooting l2 port

Show interface breif 

For downtime 

Show interface | include input

Show interface | include output 

This give you last time the interface is use to forward data
