This site sould give you a basic overview about the CLI of your EdgeRouter.
In the background the device runs a VyOS. That means you can use the standard VyOs commands.
VyOs is based on Debian. If you type sudo su you get a /bin/bash
configure -> go into the configuration mode (you can compare that to conf t on cisco devices)
commit -> commits the changes
save -> saves the chanes
Allways run commit and save if you want to save your configuration.
exit brings you back into "normal mode"
show configuration gives you an "human readable" version of the configuration. show configuration commands displays a configuration that you can use for later purpose e.g. copy and paste it to a new device to make a 1to1 backup.
show ip route is similar to Cisco IOS: it gives you a list of all routes.
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
configure |
go into configuration mode |
set system host-name foobar |
set your router hostname to foobar |
set system domain-name 8.8.8.8 |
set the default DNS server |
set system gateway-address 123.123.123 |
set the default Gateway |
set system ntp server 0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org |
set the ntp server (active per default). You can specify multiple NTP Server |
set system time-zone Europe/Berlin |
set your timezone (use tab if you are in a different timezone) |
set system login banner pre-login "This is a test \nAnd this is a new line\n" |
set a banner (simular to banner in the cisco world) |
the delete command can delete a configuration (simular to e.g. no shutdown in the cisco world). E. g.: delete system domain-name
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
show dhcp leases |
show ip address, MAC adress, pool and client name |
replace with your username and with your strong password. The password is stored encrypted so this is the only time you see the password in plain text.
set system login user <new-username> authentication plaintext-password <superSecretPassword123>
set system login user <new-username> level admin
# optional: set full name
set system login user <new-username> full-name 'Firstname Lastname'
Now test if you can login with the new user and then delete the default user ubnt. This only works if the user isn't logged in (either via ssh or GUI).
delete system login user ubnt
The Router can also act as a switch. Here is an example:
set interfaces switch switch0 address 172.22.1.1/24
set interfaces switch switch0 mtu 1500
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth2
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth3
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth4
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port vlan-aware disable
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name CLIENT-LAN authoritative disable
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name CLIENT-LAN subnet 172.22.1.0/24 default-router 172.22.1.1
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name CLIENT-LAN subnet 172.22.1.0/24 dns-server 8.8.8.8
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name CLIENT-LAN subnet 172.22.1.0/24 lease 86400
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name CLIENT-LAN subnet 172.22.1.0/24 start 172.22.1.10 stop 172.22.1.100
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name MGMT-VLAN subnet 10.10.99.0/24 static-mapping cgn-monitor ip-address 10.10.99.11
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name MGMT-VLAN subnet 10.10.99.0/24 static-mapping cgn-monitor mac-address '52:54:xx:xx:xx:xx'
