AppNeta - Changing the links speed using CLI only

• AppNeta

Issue/Introduction

We are unable to access the Web Admin in AppNeta and are relying on console connection to make the changes in CLI.   We're trying to disable auto-negotiate and specify specific settings.

 

Resolution

You can try using the following command:

curl -ku <username> -X 'PUT' 'https://<hostname>/api/v1/interface/<interface_name>/' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"autoneg": "autoneg", "speed": "speed", "duplex": "duplex", "mtu": "mtu"}'

For example:

curl -ku admin -X 'PUT' 'https://localhost/api/v1/interface/eth1/' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"autoneg": "off", "speed": "1000", "duplex": "full", "mtu": "1500"}'

Afterwards, you will need to restart networking:

curl -ku admin -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d {} 'https://localhost/api/v1/service/networking/?action=restart'

The variables above are defined as follows:
<username> – The user name on the Monitoring Point.
<hostname> – The hostname or IP address of the Monitoring Point.
<interface_name> – The interface you are interested in.
The response shows the interface configuration including:
mtu – Maximum Transmission Unit (null by default, meaning 1500).
autoneg – Auto Negotiation (on by default).
speed – Speed (null by default, meaning Auto).
duplex – Duplex (null by default, meaning Auto).
