Filtering show Command Outputs
Filter the output of a show command to display specic information by adding | [except | find | grep | no-more | save]
specified_text after the command.
The variable specified_text is the text for which you are ltering and it IS case sensitive unless you use the ignore-case sub-
option.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0, the grep command accepts an ignore-case sub-option that forces the search to
case-insensitive. For example, the commands:
• show run | grep Ethernet returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized “Ethernet,” such as interface
TenGigabitEthernet 0/1.
• show run | grep ethernet does not return that search result because it only searches for instances containing a non-
capitalized “ethernet.”
• show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case returns instances containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet.”
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.
