Users Guide

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 specified 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

NOTE: Dell accepts a space or no space before and after the pipe. To filter a phrase with spaces, underscores, or ranges,

enclose the phrase with double quotation marks.

The except keyword displays text that does not match the specified 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 first occurrence of specified 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 affects the output of the specified command only.

The save command copies the output to a file for future reference.

NOTE

: You can filter 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.
