Command History
The Dell Networking OS maintains a history of previously-entered commands for each mode. For
example:
• When you are in EXEC mode, the UP and DOWN arrow keys display the previously-entered EXEC
mode commands.
• When you are in CONFIGURATION mode, the UP or DOWN arrows keys recall the previously-entered
CONFIGURATION mode commands.
Filtering show Command Outputs
Filter the output of a show command to display specific information by adding | [except | find |
grep | no-more | save]
specified_text after the command.
The variable specified_text is the text for which you are filtering and it IS case sensitive unless you
use the ignore-case sub-option.
The grep command accepts an ignore-case sub-option that forces the search to case-insensitive. For
example, the commands:
• show run | grep Ethernet returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized
“Ethernet,” such as
interface TengigabitEthernet 0/0.
