The except keyword displays text that does not match the specified 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 first occurrence of specified text. The following

example shows this command used in combination with the show system brief command.

Example of the find Keyword

The display command displays additional configuration information.

The no-more command displays the output all at once rather than one screen at a time. This is similar to the terminal length

command except that the no-more option affects the output of the specified command only.

The save command copies the output to a file for future reference.

NOTE: You can filter a single command output multiple times. The save option must be the last option entered. For example:

Dell# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-regular-

expression | find regular-expression | save.

Multiple Users in Configuration Mode

Dell Networking OS notifies all users when there are multiple users logged in to CONFIGURATION mode.

A warning message indicates the username, type of connection (console or VTY), and in the case of a VTY connection, the IP address of

the terminal on which the connection was established. For example:

• On the system that telnets into the switch, this message appears:

% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:

User "<username>" on line console0

• On the system that is connected over the console, this message appears:

% Warning: User "<username>" on line vty0 "10.11.130.2" is in configuration mode

If either of these messages appears, Dell Networking recommends coordinating with the users listed in the message so that you do not

unintentionally overwrite each other’s configuration changes.
