CLI Filtering show commands

To filter the output of show commands, use the pipe character "|" after the command, a keyword, and then a regular expression.

show command | keyword regular_expression

The keyword indicates how the output should be shown:

  • begin - output begins at the first instance of the matched regular expression
  • include - output includes all lines of output that match the regular expression
  • exclude - output includes all lines of output that do not match the regular expression
