preferences output mask { bits dotted-quad } show preferences output mask

The preferences output mask command affects the format of the output from those show commands that display an IP address together with a subnet mask. When set to bits (the default), the IP address and subnet mask are output in prefix notation – i.e., an IP address in dotted-quad notation followed by a slash followed by the number of consecutive ones-bits in the subnet mask – whereas when set to dotted-quad, the IP address and subnet mask are output as two consecutive dotted-quads.

Example:

#preferences output mask bits

#show interface ethernet 0 ip address interface ethernet 0 ip address 192.168.1.1/24 #preferences output mask dotted-quad

#show interface ethernet 0 ip address

interface ethernet 0 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
