show run | section

liven

If the

| section

option is not available

and the only options are:

append Append redirected output to URL (URLs supporting append operation only)
begin Begin with the line that matches
exclude Exclude lines that match
include Include lines that match
redirect Redirect output to URL
tee Copy output to URL

Is there a regex combo that would allow one to call groupings of lines?

For instance I am trying to look through the config of a switch that has thousands of lines of config. I would like to be able to do:


show run | i <all lines for an interface>

But the version of the IOS running on this box doesn't include the "section" regex or modifier.

Does anyone know how to hack or code that up with the commands I have available?

Thanks!

liven I think this is what you are looking for:

testswitch#sh run interface FastEthernet 0/7
Building configuration...

Current configuration:
!
interface FastEthernet0/7
 duplex full
 speed 100
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5-10,12
 switchport mode trunk
end

Doesn't "sh run | include int" do it?

Yea it would you just have to include the exact syntax so no int fa0/7 it would have to be interface FastEthernet 0/7

I have only seen the section option on 7613s. Not saying that it doesn't exist otherwise...just saying that is the only place I have actually seen it in production.

Appears to be in 12.4 and above for all routers.

Yep, just tried it on my 2611 with 12.4 and it worked.

Yes but I don't want just interface information, I want to be able to include any section... When I only have a little bit of information.

I wish you could do a

show run | i <some text> PLUS 5 lines above or 5 lines below etc....

Generally if I want to see say something + 5 lines below I do a "Sh run | begin router ospf" or wherever I want to start..has the same effect, but doesn't do much about at looking at the config above.
