Auvik - Monitor Everything on your Network

Some time ago i posted how you can connect to a spine or leaf switch -> Connect to a leaf/spine switch
With the introduction of NX-OS, the syntax changed a bit. You have now first to drop back to the bash shell and then you can attach the switches. Password is still the same as for the APIC.
