Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

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
Keystrokes" section on page
Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands
You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort
through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see. Using these
commands is optional.
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 appear.
This example shows how to include in the output display only lines where the expression protocol
appears:
Switch# 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

Accessing the CLI

You can access the CLI through a console connection, through Telnet, or by using the browser.

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. Then, to understand the boot process and the options
available for assigning IP information, see
Gateway."
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. For
more information, see the
You can use one of these methods to establish a connection with the switch:

Connect the switch console port to a management station or dial-up modem, or connect the Ethernet
management port to a PC. For information about connecting to the console or Ethernet management
port, see the switch hardware installation guide.
Use any Telnet TCP/IP or encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) package from a remote management
station. The switch must have network connectivity with the Telnet or SSH client, and the switch
must have an enable secret password configured.
