Administrator Guide

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 0/0.
• 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 specied text. The following example shows this command used in combination with
the show processes command.
Dell#show processes cpu cp | grep system
0 72000 7200 10000 17.97% 17.81% 17.96% 0 system
NOTE: Dell Networking OS accepts a space or no space before and after the pipe. To lter a phrase with spaces, underscores, or
ranges, enclose the phrase with double quotation marks.
The except keyword displays text that does not match the specied text. The following example shows this command used in
combination with the
show processes command.
Example of the except Keyword
Dell#show processes cpu cp | except system
