configShow
Displays system configuration settings.
SYNOPSIS configshow
configshow [-all | -fid FID | -chassis | -switch] |
[-local | -USB | -U] [file] [-pattern "pattern"]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display system configuration settings. Some but not all of these parameters are set
by the configure and configureChassis commands.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately. The behavior of configShow depends on the environment in which the command
is executed:
• In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays the switch
configuration for the current logical switch. An Admin with chassis permissions can use additional
parameters to display configuration data for a specified logical switch (-fid FID), for the chassis
(-chassis), or for all logical switches and the chassis (-all).
• In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays the
switch configuration. When executed with the -all operand, configShow displays all of the system's
configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data. The -chassis option displays the
chassis configuration only. The -switch option displays the switch configuration only. The -fid option
is not valid.
NOTES Not all values displayed are applicable to all system models and configurations.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS The following operands are optional:
-pattern "pattern"
Specifies a text string, enclosed in double quotation marks, that limits the output of
the command to only those entries that contain the pattern. Use of wildcards and
other common regular expression operators is not supported. Some configuration
settings do not display when filtered. When in doubt, use the command without
the -pattern operand. Executing configShow -pattern without further operands is
not recommended and can cause unspecified behavior.
-all
Displays all configuration data including chassis and switch configuration.
-fid FID
Displays configuration data for a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This
option is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions
-chassis
Displays configuration data for the chassis only. This option is valid only in a
Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions
-switch
Displays the switch configuration only. This option is valid only in a Non-Virtual
Fabric environment.
