Execute CLI Show Command (Devices)

Release: Juniper Apstra 5.1
{}
Change Release
date_range 21-Mar-25

While in the Apstra environment, you may need device information that's obtained via CLI commands. Traditionally, you need to log in to a machine with access to the device management network, open a terminal, find device IP addresses, SSH to each of them, then run the required CLI commands. You can bypass these steps and run show commands for Juniper devices directly from the Apstra GUI. You can execute CLI commands from within the staged or active blueprint, or from the Managed Devices page. The steps below are for the devices page.

To execute the CLI Show Command on Junos devices in the Apstra GUI:

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Devices > Managed Devices and click the management IP for the device.
  2. On the device detail page that appears, click the Execute CLI Command button.
  3. In the dialog that opens type show, then press the space bar. Available commands appear that you can scroll through to select, or you can start typing the command and it will auto-fill. In our example we're looking for BGP neighbors. We typed show, space, then b, which filtered the commands to only include those with the letter b. We selected bgp, then pressed the space bar to show available arguments for bgp. We typed n to show commands including the letter n. We'll select neighbor to complete the command.
  4. From the drop-down list, select how you want to view the results: text, XML or JSON.
  5. Click Execute to return show command results. We used Text Mode for our example.
