Command History
The Dell Networking OS maintains a history of previously-entered commands for each mode. For example:
• When you are in EXEC mode, the UP and DOWN arrow keys display the previously-entered EXEC mode commands.
• When you are in CONFIGURATION mode, the UP or DOWN arrows keys recall the previously-entered CONFIGURATION mode
commands.
Filtering show Command Outputs
Filter the output of a show command to display specic information by adding | [except | find | grep | no-more | save]
specified_text after the command.
The variable specified_text is the text for which you are ltering and it IS case sensitive unless you use the ignore-case sub-
option.
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.”
