Sending Commands to Modules

You can send commands directly to modules from the supervisor module session using the slot command.
The slot has the following syntax:
slot slot-number [quoted] command-string
By default, the keyword and arguments in the command-string argument are separated by a space. To send
more than one command to a module, separate the commands with a space character, a semicolon character
(;), and a space character.
Thequoted keyword indicates that the command string begins and ends with double quotation marks ("). Use
this keyword when you want to redirect the module command output to a filtering utility, such as diff, that is
supported only on the supervisor module session.
This example shows how to display and filter module information:
switch# slot 2 show version | grep lc
This example shows how to filter module information on the supervisor module session:
switch# slot 2 quoted "show version" | diff
switch# slot 4 quoted "show version" | diff -c
