Using NetShow Commands
Network show (NetShow) commands represent a set of read-only commands. These are primarily, show
commands that you can run on devices that are managed in RME.
You can specify the commands that you want to group together and then run these commands on one or
many devices. The output is displayed in a browser window.
NetShow has the following features:
• Network Administrators can assign Command Sets to other users.
• Network Administrators and Network Operators (if permitted) can execute the custom commands.
This allows them to run a command against multiple devices.
• Support for standard and non-standard Cisco devices.
• Simplified new device support.
• No device limit.
• Integration with the Output Interpreter tool.
RME ships with system-defined NetShow Command Sets. You cannot edit or delete any of these
Command Sets. See System-Defined Command Sets for the list of system-defined Command Sets in
RME.
You can run NetShow commands either from the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or from the Command
Line Interface (CLI). NetShow allows you to add system-defined as well as adhoc commands within
Command Sets and run them.
You must have the required privileges to perform these functions. See Viewing the Permission Report
for the tasks that a user in a particular role can perform.
The major features of NetShow are:
• NetShow Job Browser

view the details of the jobs. You can run a job immediately or schedule it to run at a specified time,
once, or periodically.

• Command Sets
