GAIA CLISH Basics (Interfaces,Routes,Bonds,Saving)

Here are some really 'basic' GAIA CLISH commands everyone should know


Basic Configuration for an interface via CLISH (ifconfig/ethtool still work within expert-shell in case you prefer those):

Configure the interface with an appropriate ipv4 address and netmask

GAIA1> set interface eth2 ipv4-address 10.100.100.1 mask-length 24

Interace comments

GAIA1> set interface eth2 comments "Internal Interface"

Interface speed hardcoding (use 'auto-negotation on' instead if required)

GAIA1> set interface eth2 link-speed 1000M/full

Turn the interface "on" and active

GAIA1> set interface eth2 state on

Show current information

GAIA1> show interface eth2      
link-speed 1000M/full
ipv6-autoconfig Not configured
speed 1000M
mac-addr 00:0c:29:38:9f:6d
state on
duplex full
type ethernet
comments {Internal Interface}
mtu 1500
auto-negotiation Not configured
ipv4-address 10.100.100.1/24
ipv6-address Not Configured

Adding static routes in GAIA CLISH:

Destination of 10.100.101/24 via 10.100.100.2

GAIA1> set static-route 10.100.101.0/24 nexthop gateway address 10.100.100.2 on

GAIA1> show route

       O - OSPF IntraArea (IA - InterArea, E - External, N - NSSA)
       A - Aggregate, K - Kernel Remnant, H - Hidden, P - Suppressed

S     10.100.108.0/24     via 10.100.100.2, eth2, cost 0, age 2 
C     127.0.0.0/8         is directly connected, lo 
C     192.168.0.0/24      is directly connected, eth0

Creating a bond from CLISH:

#Create the bond and assign a slave interface in one command:

GAIA1> add bonding group 0 interface eth1
 Enter an interface to add to the bond group.
 Only ethernet interfaces can be added to a bond group.
 The interface shouldn't have any IP addresses or aliases configured.
 Hit tab to obtain the available interfaces that can be added to the bond group.

# Set the "mode" of the Bond (I choose 8023ad here - aka LACP)

GAIA1> set bonding group 0 mode 8023AD

# Set the bond's primary interface:

GAIA1> set bonding group 0 primary eth1

# View your bond:

GAIA1> show bonding group 0
