Junos OS

Does anyone know if there is a way to see the interface status of a port go up or down on the console as you when you plug or unplug an active connections.

Please let me know.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You.

The way I've done it in the past is, you must first set updown messages to go to a specific file on the device.  Example config:

[edit system syslog]

file interface-logs {
    any any;
    match UpDown;
}

Then if you want to see these on the CLI console, you type "monitor start interface-logs" and you will start seeing the messages which are in that file as they occur on the console. 

It's similar to debug commands on Cisco so to stop, type: "monitor stop interface-logs" which would turn off the console logging for that file.

cisos,

This did the trick.  This is very useful to see in some situations.  I come from a Cisco world to a much better Juniper world and I knew there had to be a way to do this. 

Thank you!

If you want all logged in users to see the messages without having to enable log file monitoring, you could do:

user * {
    any any;
    match "Status [up|down]";
}

Hello evt,

I tried the method you suggested and did not see interface status on the console.  Am I missing something?  Thanks!

    syslog {
        user * {
            any any;
            match UpDown;
        }
        file messages {
            any notice;
            authorization info;
        }
        file interactive-commands {
            interactive-commands any;
        }
    }
}

Are you connecting via the console port or through a telnet/SSH session?  That method (edited for better filtering) will only work for users logged in via SSH/Telnet, not for a user connected via the console port.

That makes sense.  I was conencted via console cable.  Thanks for the help!!
