Pipes

Any command’s output can be "piped" using the ’|’ symbol with

"grep" or "more."

• Redirecting a command to

more pages that command's output

regardless of the

config cli more setting.

• Redirecting a command to

grep displays only the command

output's lines that contain the word specified after

grep to be

displayed.

HP SA8220#info | grep SNMP

The above command filters the output of the info command using

grep such that only lines containing "SNMP" are displayed.

• Pipes to

grep can be cascaded.

info | grep Primary | grep serv1.com

The above command displays only lines containing "Primary"

AND "serv1.com."

• The output of a command can be directed to both

grep and

more, but the pipe to more must be the last pipe present.
