3.2.1 Output Mode
Output mode allows you to configure the format of the output from the CLI as human-
readable, XML, or formatted XML output.
Normal - output is displayed in human-readable format. This is the default setting and is
recommended if the CLI output will be read by people. Figure 3-2 shows an example of
this mode when the
Show
command at the root (system) context is issued. If you change
to another output mode, type the following command to return to this output mode:
Mode outputMode Normal
Figure 3-2. Example of Normal Output
XML - output is nested together as XML, with XML tags. This selection is useful when a
computer program will be receiving and interpreting the output from the CLI. Figure 3-3
shows an example of this mode when the
Show
command is issued. To select the XML
output mode, type the following command:
