Network Device Commands

Network Device Commands#

Equivalent CLI commands across the four mainstream network operating systems, Cisco IOS XR, Juniper JUNOS, Nokia SROS, and Huawei HVRP. The operator uses this lookup when pivoting through enterprise gear during recon.

Routing#

OSPF, ISIS, BGP, MPLS, multicast, and VRRP entries follow the same per-vendor mapping pattern. See pages 215-217 of the source handbook for the full tables.

OSPF: show ospf neighbor / show ospf neighbor / show router ospf neighbor / display ospf nexthop
BGP: show bgp neighbors / show bgp neighbor / show router bgp neighbor / display bgp peer
MPLS LDP neighbor: show mpls ldp neighbor brief / show ldp neighbor / show router ldp session / display mpls ldp adjacency
Multicast: show mfib/mrib route / show multicast route / show router mfib/mrib route / display multicast routing-table
VRRP: show vrrp summary / show vrrp brief /, / display vrrp brief
