Customizing the Screen Display Using the CLI
page 6-21 OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Switch Management Guide May 2012
To exit the more mode, use the no more CLI command.
Note. The value set with the more size command applies to the screen display when the CLI is in the more
mode or when you are using the Vi text editor of the switch.
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 “Using a Wildcard to Filter Table Information” on
page 6-25.
