regular-expression
Example:
Switch# show interfaces | include protocol
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/2 is up, line protocol is up
Accessing the CLI on a Switch Stack
You can access the CLI through a console connection, through Telnet, or by using the browser.
You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the active switch. You cannot manage
stack members on an individual switch basis. You can connect to the active switch through the console port
or the Ethernet management port of one or more stack members. Be careful with using multiple CLI sessions
to the active switch. Commands that you enter in one session are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore,
it is possible to lose track of the session from which you entered commands.
We recommend using one CLI session when managing the switch stack.
Note
If you want to configure a specific stack member port, you must include the stack member number in the CLI
command interface notation.
To debug a specific stack member, you can access it from the active switch by using the session
stack-member-number privileged EXEC command. The stack member number is appended to the system
prompt. For example, Switch-2# is the prompt in privileged EXEC mode for stack member 2, and where the
system prompt for the active switch is Switch. Only the show and debug commands are available in a CLI
session to a specific stack member.
Accessing the CLI through a Console Connection or through Telnet
Before you can access the CLI, you must connect a terminal or a PC to the switch console or connect a PC to
the Ethernet management port and then power on the switch, as described in the hardware installation guide
that shipped with your switch.
If your switch is already configured, you can access the CLI through a local console connection or through a
remote Telnet session, but your switch must first be configured for this type of access.

Using the Command-Line Interface
Purpose
Searches and filters the output.
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 appear.
