output modifiers
Posted on September 7, 2012

As you know, looking through output information by CLI, can take a long time, especially
when this output contains configuration, routing tables or logbuffer. Nobody wants to waste
time, knowing, that there are many tasks and little time. You can simplify your work using
output modifiers. You do not have to read all information step by step to find the interesting
one. Probably most of you know what I am talking about.

You have 3 options:

1. begin begins with the line that matches

2. exclude matches the character strings excluding the regular expression
3. include matches the character strings including the regular expression

include

The exclude option you can use in the same way. It is omitted here as it is not often used.

You can use equivalents of include, exclude and begin modifiers. Only remember that:

include = +
exclude = -
begin = /.

Of course you can use more advanced combinations. For example, if you have many MPLS
TE tunnels configured and you only want to check what a status of these tunnels is, you can
use:

<labnario> display mpls te tunnel-interface | include Tunnel Name | Desc

Tunnel Name : Tunnel0/0/101
Tunnel State Desc : Primary CR-LSP Up and HotBackup CR-LSP Up
Tunnel Name : Tunnel0/0/102
Tunnel State Desc : Primary CR-LSP Up and HotBackup CR-LSP Up
Tunnel Name : Tunnel0/0/103
Tunnel State Desc : Primary CR-LSP Up and HotBackup CR-LSP Up
Tunnel Name : Tunnel0/0/104
Tunnel State Desc : Primary CR-LSP Up and HotBackup CR-LSP Up
