The display command displays additional conguration 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 aects the output of the specied command only.
The save command copies the output to a le for future reference.
NOTE
: You can lter 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 Conguration Mode
Dell Networking OS noties 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
