configShow
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 restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "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.
