Cisco SD-WAN internal commands

Cisco SD-WAN internal commands

As today we are going to talk about the hidden commands used in the case of Cisco SDWAN router for some troubleshooting purposes. The recommendation of these commands are basically used by the Cisco TAC engineers. Make sure don't use these commands without discussion with Cisco TAC team.

Debugging and troubleshooting Cisco SD-WAN issues is carried out by the Cisco support team using SD-WAN internal commands and manufacturing commands. They are password-protected and hidden.

It is necessary to provide the required command and password in order to access the hidden commands. It is expected that most hidden commands will be removed in the future, as the passwords for them will be deprecated

vEdge # unhide viptela_internal
Password: ************   

To access and execute the hidden internal commands, use the unhide viptela_internal command, and provide the password 5mok!ngk!ll$

After putting the above you can now run the below some of the commands. This may be depreciated in the new version of the code. Check the version as well before using the unhide commands on the device itself.
