Chapter 6 Using the Command-Line Interface

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

In this example, the access-listglobal configuration command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) shows that the line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left.

br(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1 br(config)# $ 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.25 br(config)# $t tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.255.255.0 eq br(config)# $108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.255.255.0 eq 45

After you complete the entry, press Ctrl-Ato check the complete syntax before pressing the Return key to execute the command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to show that the line has been scrolled to the right:

br(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1$

If you have a terminal screen width other than 80 columns, use the terminal width privileged EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.

Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command entries. For information about recalling previous command entries, see the “Editing Commands Through Keystrokes” section on page 6-8.

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands, which is useful when sorting through large amounts of output or when excluding output.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the pipe character (), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search for or filter out:

command {begin include exclude} regular-expression

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter exclude output, the lines that contain output are not displayed, but the lines that contain Output are displayed.

This example shows how to include in the output display only lines where the expression protocol appears:

br# show interfaces include protocol Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is down GigabitEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up
