Thola / Getting Started / Quick Start

Quick Start

Use the identify mode to automatically discover some properties of a network device.

$ thola identify

Usage:
  thola identify [host] [flags]

Specify the address of the network device in the [host] argument. The --format flag modifies the format of the output. --format pretty is set by default and is useful when reading the output manually. Other options are json and xml.

$ thola identify 10.204.2.90

Device:
  Class: ceraos/ip10
  Properties:
    Vendor: Ceragon
    Model: IP-10
    SerialNumber: 00:0A:25:25:77:67

Next we want to print the interfaces of the network device and their relevant data. We use the read interfaces command for this.

$ thola read interfaces 10.204.2.90
