NX-OS bash access again

if you recalled the recent  earlier post { http://socpuppet.blogspot.com/2016/04/howto-enable-linux-bash-nx-os.html },
 we have one more means for execution of a bash shell. It's to use the guestshell service with NX-OS.

You only need to enable  the guestshell service to use it & for runn linux commands.

example

(from cli )

   guestshell enable
   show guestshell detail

Now you can now  run "unix" like commands  from the NX-OS  cli ;

examples

Be aware that you should enclose commands in  between " " quotes but it's not always required and if you use  any "s in any commands execution to escape them;

example

Within the NXOS guestshell you can execute a full shell via the following;


example

To disable the guestshell feature;




SOCNX01SW# guestshell disable
You will not be able to access your guest shell if it is disabled. Are you sure you want to disable the guest shell? (y/n) [n] y
