12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced for Cisco 7600 series images in Cisco IOS

 

Release 12.2SR as part of the “Configuration Partitioning” feature.

 

 

12.2(33)SB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB and

 

implemented on the Cisco 10000 series.

 

 

Usage Guidelines

 

When the Configuration Partitioning feature is enabled, the system groups the configuration state of the

 

 

 

 

 

device into parts (called “partitions”) for the purpose of generating the virtual running configuration file

 

 

 

 

 

(the list of configuration commands). The selective processing of the system’s configuration state for the

 

 

 

 

 

purpose of generating a partial running configuration is called “configuration partitioning.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

This command is not related to hard drive or flash drive partitioning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This granular access to configuration information offers important performance benefits for high-end

 

 

 

 

 

routing platforms with very large configuration files, as the system wide generation of a complete virtual

 

 

 

 

 

configuration file from all components on systems with large and complex configurations can become

 

 

 

 

 

overly resource intensive and be unacceptably slow.

 

 

 

 

 

The show running-config partition command allows you to display only the part of the running

 

 

 

 

 

configuration that you want to examine, while also allowing the system to process only the collection of

 

 

 

 

 

system components (such as specific interfaces) that you need to display. This is in contrast to other

 

 

 

 

 

existing extensions to the show running-configcommand, which only filter the generated list after all

 

 

 

 

 

system components have been processed.

 

 

 

 

 

The Configuration Partitioning feature is enabled by default in Cisco IOS software images that support

 

 

 

 

 

the feature. To disable the feature, use the no parser config partition command.

 

 

 

 

 

Examples

 

In the following example, the system generates a view of the running configuration by polling only the

 

 

 

 

 

components associated with the access-list parts of the running configuration state, and then displays

 

 

 

 

 

only those access-list-related configuration commands.
