I know in Cisco switches I can pull state changes and get a date for the last time a port was active, but for the life of me I cannot find that option on our Aerohive branded switches, Extreme branded switches, or within ExtremeCloud IQ.
Do you know of any way I can pull reports to help find unused ports either through SSH or through ExtremeCloud IQ?
I have searched the community, but most seem to point to some Extreme Management Suite that we are not running.
TIA

Hi Ben,
For EXOS (Extreme Switches) you can do it via SSH/CLI:
show ports information
This will display a consolidated overview of all ports that shows - among other things - if a port was ever up since the last boot. This can be used to filter out these ports quickly.
show ports information detail
This will display the last link up / link down of ports.
By default both commands show the output for all ports, this can be limited.
show ports 1 information detail
show ports 1,4,7 information detail
show ports 1-24 information detail

I use this to filter just what I want on EXOS
show port 1:1 info detail | include "Port:|Link State:|Link Ups:|Link Downs"

Thanks for the update. I wish those worked on HiveOS as a majority of our switches are running on that. The only way I could see is either through some monitoring utility, which I don't have, or clearing the counters and trusting that.
