Application Example

Using a Wildcard to Filter Table Information

The wildcard character allows you to substitute the asterisk (*) character for text patterns while using the filter mode.

Note. You must type the wildcard character in front of and after the filter text pattern unless the text pattern appears alone on a table row.

In this example, the show snmp mib family command is used because it displays a long table of MIB information. This example uses the filter option to display only those lines containing the “vlan” character pattern.

1Use the more command to set the number of displayed lines to 10 and to enable the more mode.

-> more size 10 -> more

To verify your settings, enter the following:

-> show more

The more feature is enabled and the number of line is set to 10

2Enter the show snmp mib family command. Note that 10 lines of information are displayed. The switch is now in the More? mode as indicated at the bottom of the screen.

-> show snmp mib family

3Type the filter pattern “/” command and the following message will automatically appear.

Enter filter pattern:

Enter the desired text pattern, in this case “*vlan*”, at the prompt. Remember to type the text exactly as it would appear in the CLI table and to type the asterisk (*) character before and after the text. The More? mode prompt will automatically re-appear.

Enter filter pattern: *vlan*

More? [next screen <sp>*, next line <cr>*, filter pattern </>*, quit <q>]

The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication.
