Concept Guide

The grep command displays only the lines containing specied text. The following example shows this command used in combination with
the show linecard all command.
Dell(conf)#do show stack-unit all stack-ports all pfc details | grep 0
stack unit 0 stack-port all
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
NOTE: Dell accepts a space or no space before and after the pipe. To lter a phrase with spaces, underscores, or ranges, enclose
the phrase with double quotation marks.
The except keyword displays text that does not match the specied text. The following example shows this command used in
combination with the show linecard all command.
Example of the except Keyword
Dell(conf)#do show stack-unit all stack-ports all pfc details | except 0
Admin mode is On
Admin is enabled
Local is enabled
Link Delay 65535 pause quantum
Dell(conf)#
The find keyword displays the output of the show command beginning from the rst occurrence of specied text. The following example
shows this command used in combination with the show linecard all command.
Example of the find Keyword
Dell(conf)#do show stack-unit all stack-ports all pfc details | find 0
stack unit 0 stack-port all
Admin mode is On
Admin is enabled
Local is enabled
Link Delay 65535 pause quantum
0 Pause Tx pkts, 0 Pause Rx pkts
Dell(conf)#
The no-more command displays the output all at once rather than one screen at a time. This is similar to the terminal length
command except that the no-more option aects the output of the specied command only.
The save command copies the output to a le for future reference.
NOTE
: You can lter a single command output multiple times. The save option must be the last option entered. For example:
Dell# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-regular-
expression | find regular-expression | save.
Multiple Users in Conguration Mode
Dell noties all users when there are multiple users logged in to CONFIGURATION mode.
A warning message indicates the username, type of connection (console or VTY), and in the case of a VTY connection, the IP address of
the terminal on which the connection was established. For example:
On the system that telnets into the switch, this message appears:
% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:
User "<username>" on line console0
