For a complete list of CLI commands and syntax information for each command,
see the Configuration Guide.
Searching and filtering output from CLI commands
You can filter CLI output from show commands and at the —More— prompt. You can
search for individual characters, strings, or construct complex regular expressions to
filter the output.
Searching and filtering output from show commands
You can filter output from show commands to display lines containing a specified
string, lines that do not contain a specified string, or output starting with a line
containing a specified string. The search string is a regular expression consisting of
a single character or string of characters. You can use special characters to
construct complex regular expressions. See "Using special characters in regular
expressions" on page 33 for information on special characters used with regular
expressions.
Displaying lines containing a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show interface command for port
3/1 so it displays only lines containing the word "Internet". This command can be
used to display the IP address of the interface.
NetIron # show interface e 3/1 | include Internet
Syntax: <show-command> | include <regular-expression>
Note: The vertical bar ( | ) is part of the command.
Note that the regular expression specified as the search string is case sensitive. In
the example above, a search string of "Internet" would match the line containing the
IP address, but a search string of "internet" would not.
Displaying lines that do not contain a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays
only lines that do not contain the word "closed". This command can be used to
display open connections to a B48C or B50C switch.
NetIron # show who | exclude closed
