Collect Show Tech: Offbox Agents (CLI)

We recommend that you use the GUI to obtain show tech files, but you have the option of using CLI instead, as described below. You'll need the device management IP address(es) and a valid device SSH username and password.
Note:

If your offbox agents are for infra, you'll collect show tech with a different method. Refer to Show-Tech: Infra Offbox Agents (CLI) for details.

  1. SSH into the HPE Networking Apstra Data Center Director server that the offbox agent is running on. (ssh admin@<apstra-server-ip> where <apstra-server-ip> is the IP address of the server.)
  2. To copy the show tech file(s) to your user directory, run the aos_offbox_show_tech_collector command with the following arguments:

    • --ips <ip address of one or more devices> (for example: 11.29.53.7 11.29.53.8 11.29.53.9)

    • --aos-ip <ip address of the server> (for example: 11.29.53.3)

    • --os-type <vendor OS type> (for example: junos)

    • --user <admin user name> (for example: admin)

    • --password <admin password> (for example: xu8&j3d'j1=dHnr)

    Example for 3 Devices:

  3. Copy the show tech file(s) to a local computer with the ability to upload.
