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.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0, 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
GigabitEthernet 1/1.
• 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 specied text. The following example shows this command used in combination with
the show system brief command.
Example of the grep Keyword
Dell(conf)#do show system brief | grep 0
0 not present
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 specied text. The following example shows this command used in
combination with the
show system brief command.
Example of the except Keyword
Dell#show system brief | except 1
Stack MAC : 4c:76:25:e5:49:40
Reload-Type : normal-reload [Next boot : normal-reload]
The find keyword displays the output of the show command beginning from the rst occurrence of specied text. The following example
shows this command used in combination with the show system brief command.
Example of the find Keyword
Dell#show system brief | find 0
Stack MAC : 00:11:12:13:18:20
