Filtering Table Information

The CLI allows you to define filters for displaying table information. This is useful in cases where a vast
amount of display data exists but you are interested in only a small subset of that data. Commands
showing routing tables are a good example to filter information. You can specify a filter that identifies the
data that are relevant to your search. The switch then displays the information you identified. This saves
you the trouble of scanning long lists of data unnecessarily.
The filter mode filters unwanted information from a CLI table by displaying only those lines containing a
specified text pattern (up to 80 characters). Once the filter command has been executed, the filter mode
remains active until you reach the end of the CLI table or until you exit the table by using the q command.
The filter command is case sensitive. When using the slash (/) command, type the text exactly as it would
appear in the CLI table.
For additional information about filtering, refer to
