Filtering Command Output Multiple Times

Command Modes

EXEC Mode

16 | CLI Basics
• no-more — do not paginate the display output
• save — copy output to a file for future use
Note:
FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any
combination. For example:
command
FTOS#
regular-expression
The grep command option has an ignore-case sub-option that makes the search case-insensitive. For
example, the commands:
• show run | grep Ethernet
"Ethernet," such as interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0
• show run | grep ethernet
instances containing a non-capitalized "ethernet".
• show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case
"ethernet".
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-more command after the pipe.
This is similar to the terminal length screen-length command except that the no-more option affects
the output of just the specified command. For example:
show running-config | no-more
FTOS#
You can filter a single command output multiple times. To do this, place the save option as the last
filter. For example:
command grep regular-expression
FTOS# |
other-regular-expression
To navigate to various CLI modes, use specific commands to launch each mode. Navigation to these
modes is described in the following sections.
When you initially log in to the switch, by default you are logged into EXEC mode. This mode allows
you to view settings and to enter EXEC Privilege mode to configure the device. While you are in
EXEC mode, the > prompt is displayed following the "hostname" prompt (which is "FTOS" by
default). You can change this using the hostname command. For more information, refer to the
hostname command. Each mode prompt is preceded by the hostname.
