Need to add Bash commands

[Mr.Kumar]

Hello,

I want to add the following Bash commands on a Nexus switch. Will there be any impact from adding them?

Switch(config)# feature bash-shell

Switch(config)# end

Switch # run bash

bash-4.4$ cd /mnt/pstore/stats_ssd

bash-4.4$ ls -ll

Thanks in Advance

@Mr.Kumar just by enabling the feature itself does not normally cause any disruption to your network services / data plane forwarding. It's a control plane operation.

One thing to be aware of, is the power this can give. The shell can give you a deeper level of control over the switch than the standard NX-OS CLI can. and so If an unauthorised user does gain access and has the necessary privileges, the could cause some real harm to your network/device and services.

Hope this helps.
