opskat Serial assets
Command syntax
Pass the console command verbatim as command:
display versionshow ip interface briefdisplay current-configuration
Notes
- The serial session must already be connected by the user in a terminal tab. There is no way to open one from here.
- Output is collected until the line goes quiet (2s) or a 15s cap is reached.
- Serial assets are unavailable from
opsctl; they require the desktop app. - The
scopeparameter is not used by serial assets.
Asset config (for put_asset)
No host/port/username/credentials — a serial asset addresses a local device path instead.
