Using and port number with CLI commands

Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and

many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed

in one of the following formats.

CLI nomenclature on PowerConnectdevices

ThePowerConnectdevices use port numbers only. When you enter CLI commands that require port

numbers as part of the syntax, just specify the port number.

Here are some examples. The following commands change the CLI from the global CONFIG level to

the configuration level for the first port on the device:

• PowerConnectcommands

PowerConnect(config)#interface e1

PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-1)#

Searching and filtering output from CLI commands

You can filter CLI output from show commands and at the --More-- prompt. You can search for

individual characters, strings, or construct complex regular expressions to filter the output.

Searching and filtering output from Show commands

You can filter output from show commands to display lines containing a specified string, lines that

do not contain a specified string, or output starting with a line containing a specified string. The

search string is a regular expression consisting of a single character or string of characters. You

can use special characters to construct complex regular expressions. Refer to “Using special

characters in regular expressions” on page 7 for information on special characters used with

regular expressions.

Using include to display lines containing a specified string

The include modifier filters the output of the show interface command for port 11 so it displays only

lines containing the word “Internet”. This command can be used to display the IP address of the

interface.

Ctrl+L; Ctrl+R Repeats the current command line on a new line.

Ctrl+N Enters the next command line in the history buffer.

Ctrl+P Enters the previous command line in the history buffer.

Ctrl+U; Ctrl+X Deletes all characters from the cursor to the beginning of the command line.

Ctrl+W Deletes the last word you typed.

Ctrl+Z Moves from any CONFIG level of the CLI to the Privileged EXEC level; at the

Privileged EXEC level, moves to the User EXEC level.
