containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.”
• show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case returns instances containing both “Ethernet” and
“ethernet.”

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: FTOS# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression |
grep other-regular-expression | find regular-expression | save
.
