💖 ethshowallports(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ethshowallports from the EFSFFCLIRG man pages — yes it's a section 8 sysadmin girly and she's here to spill the tea on your whole fabric 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ethshowallports — displays basic port state and statistics for all host nodes. it's giving "one command, whole cluster, no cap" 🦋

NOTE: ethreport is more powerful Intel(R) Ethernet Fabric Suite FastFabric commands. for general fabric analysis, use ethreport with options such as -o errors and -o slowlinks to perform an efficient analysis of link speeds and errors. fr fr, if you want the full main-character deep dive, that's your girl.

🌸 Syntax 🌸

ethshowallports [-p  plane] [-f  hostfile] [-h 'hosts']

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. lowkey iconic 🎀

👑 Options 👑

  • --help — produces full help text. she will literally explain herself to you, queen behavior 💅
  • -p plane — specifies the name of the plane to use. default is the first enabled plane defined in Mgt config file. no plane picked? she just grabs the first enabled one like it's the last seat in the cafeteria ✨
  • -f hostfile — specifies the file containing the list of hosts in cluster. it overrides the HostsFile for the selected plane that is defined in Mgt config file. so yeah, your file wins, periodt 🫶
  • -h hosts — specifies the list of hosts for which to show ports. just say the names, bestie 💜

🌈 Environment Variables 🌈

the following environment variables are also used by this command — she checks these when you don't hand her anything directly:

  • HOSTS — list of hosts, used if -h option not supplied. set it once, live your life.
  • HOSTS_FILE — file containing list of hosts, used in absence of -f and -h. she's the backup plan's backup plan 😭
  • FABRIC_PLANE — name of fabric plane used in absence of -p, -f, and -h. the final safety net, and honestly? slay 🧚

⭐ Example ⭐

ethshowallports

ethshowallports -p plane1

ethshowallports -h 'elrond arwen'

HOSTS='elrond arwen' ethshowallports

look at her go. four whole moods. ate and left no crumbs 🍓

💀 Notes 💀

when performing ethshowallports against hosts, internally SSH is used. so this is not a vibe you can fake — the command ethshowallports requires that password-less SSH be set up between the host running the Intel(R) Ethernet Fabric Suite FastFabric Toolset and the hosts ethshowallports is operating against. no keys, no ports, no show. it's giving locked out of the group chat 🙈

the ethsetupssh FastFabric tool can aid in setting up password-less SSH. use her, she's helpful, she's not like the other tools. 🔥
