Reference Guide
• CLI mode is the second part of the prompt and reflects the current CLI mode. For a list of the FTOS command
modes, refer to the command mode list in the Accessing the Command Line section.
The CLI prompt changes as you move up and down the levels of the command structure. Starting with CONFIGURATION
mode, the command prompt adds modifiers to further identify the mode. For more information about command modes,
refer to the Command Modes section.
Using the Keyword no Command
To disable, delete or return to default values, use the no form of the commands.
For most commands, if you type the keyword no in front of the command, you disable that command or delete it from the
running configuration. In this guide, the
no form of the command is described in the Syntax portion of the command
description.
Filtering show Commands
To find specific information, display certain information only or begin the command output at the first instance of a
regular expression or phrase, you can filter the display output of a show command.
When you execute a show command, and then enter a pipe ( | ), one of the following parameters, and a regular
expression, the resulting output either excludes or includes those parameters.
NOTE: FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any combination. For
example: FTOS#command | grep gigabit |except regular-expression | find regular-
expression
display
displays additional configuration information
except
displays only the text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
find
searches for the first occurrence of a pattern
grep
displays text that matches a pattern.
The grep command option has an ignore-case suboption that makes the search case-
insensitive. For example, the commands:
show run |
grep
Ethernet
returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized
“Ethernet,” such as interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
show run |
grep
ethernet
does not return the previous search result because it only searches
for instances containing a noncapitalized “ethernet”
show run |
grep
Ethernet
ignore-case
returns instances containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet”
no-more
does not paginate the display output
