•
except
— display only text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
•
find
— search for the first occurrence of a pattern
•
grep
— display text that matches a pattern
•
no-more
— do not paginate the display output
•
save
- copy output to a file for future use
The grep command option has an ignore-case sub-option that makes the search case-insensitive.
For example, the commands:
• show run | grep Ethernet would return a search result with instances containing a capitalized
“Ethernet,” such as
interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
.
• show run | grep ethernet would not return the search result, above, because it only searches
for instances containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.”
Executing the command show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case would return instances
containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet.”
Displaying All Output
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the
no-more
after the pipe. This is
similar to the
terminal length screen-length
command except that the
no-more
option affects the
output of just the specified command.For example:
FTOS#
show running-config | no-more
Filtering Command Output Multiple Times
You can filter a single command output multiple times. Place the save option as the last filter. For
example:
FTOS#
command
|
grep regular-expression
|
except regular-expression
|
grep
other-regular-expression
|
find regular-expression
|
no-more
|
save
Command Modes
To navigate to various CLI modes, you need to use specific commands to launch each mode.
Navigation to these modes is discussed in the following sections.
Note:
FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any
combination. For example:
FTOS#
command
|
grep gigabit
|
except regular-expression
|
find
regular-expression
Note:
Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.
