show

Prints network related configurable values of EG to console. In case of configuration which may result in dynamically changing values it also shows them at the moment when command is executed. Commands show, get_config and status are related to checking network configuration.

The difference is on the their focus. show focuses on showing currently configured values to human. get_config focuses on whole configuration backup. status focues on current actual values used by system and includes also things that are not configurable (like loopback interface).

status

Same as executing classic Linux commands ‘ifconfig’ and ‘route’. Commands show, get_config and status are related to checking network configuration. The difference is on the their focus. show focuses on showing currently configured values to human. get_config focuses on whole configuration backup. status focues on current actual values used by system and includes also things that are not configurable (like loopback interface).
