linking show commands to multiple FEX on a 5k

[smurp0513]

I'm looking for a process to link multiple show commands to multiple fex on a 5k.

I want to pull tail-drop stats for all the FEX on a particular 5k.

Attach fex 100

dbgexec woo show new_ints all

and

show platform software woo ints | in 'tail drop' | ex '|8 

exit

Then attach fex 200, and so on.

As you can imagine it's back breaking to do this for 20+ 5k with 10-15 FEX per 5k.

Not sure if there a command to give you multiple outputs at the same time since you have to log in to every FEX.  Maybe you or someone else can write a script and automate this for you.

That is what I was going to do, but I need to get the output for a report, so will do it manually for now, but would like something in place in the future. Some quick python would do it, I imagine. I almost had it working in an NCM Job in solarwinds, but that had some issues.

Yes, I think you are on the right track with some Python scripting.  It is probably a little tricky because you have to log in to the switch first and then to the FEX. Also, it may be worth calling Cisco and asking them what they recommend, as I am sure they have seen this before in data center environments with large number of FEXs.

Good Luck!
