8 Switch validation
After switches are configured and devices are connected, the switch CLI is used to validate the network
configuration. This section provides a list of the most common commands and their output for the examples
used in this guide.
8.1 General validation commands
The commands and output shown below are for S5148F-Leaf1A in the dual switch with VLT topology. The
output of its peer, S5148F-Leaf1B, is similar. If the dual switch without VLT or single switch topology is used,
notes are added where differences exist.
Note: For additional commands and output related to the leaf-spine portion of the topology, such as BGP and
Uplink Failure Detection (UFD), see Dell EMC Networking Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices
with OS10EE.
8.1.1 show interface status
The show interface status | grep up command is used to verify required interfaces are up, and
links are established at their appropriate speeds.
S5148F-Leaf1A#show interface status | grep up
Port Description Status Speed Duplex Mode Vlan Tagged-Vlans
Eth 1/1/9 JumpBox_DNS up 10G full A 1611 -
Eth 1/1/17 Node1_Port1 up 25G full T 1611 1612-1615
Eth 1/1/18 Node2_Port1 up 25G full T 1611 1612-1615
Eth 1/1/19 Node3_Port1 up 25G full T 1611 1612-1615

Eth 1/1/53 VLTi up 100G full -
Eth 1/1/54 VLTi up 100G full -
Note: For the dual switch without VLT topology, the output is identical to the above except for the description
of ports 1/1/53-54. For the single switch topology, the output includes all eight node ports, and ports 1/1/53-54
are not used.
8.1.2 show port-channel summary
The show port-channel summary command is used to view port channel numbers, interfaces used, and
status. In OS10EE, the VLTi is automatically configured as a static LAG using port channel 1000. Ports 1/1/53
and 1/1/54 are port channel members and (P) indicates each is up and active.
S5148F-Leaf1A#show port-channel summary
Flags: D - Down I - member up but inactive P - member up and active
U - Up (port-channel) F - Fallback Activated
