Reference Guide

NOTE: Dell Networking OS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the
pipe, or any combination. For example: Dell#command | grep gigabit |except regular-
expression | find regular-expression
display
displays additional configuration information
except
displays only the text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
find
searches for the first occurrence of a pattern
grep
displays text that matches a pattern.
The grep command option has an ignore-case suboption that makes the search
case-insensitive. For example, the commands:
show run |
grep Ethernet
returns a search result with instances containing a
capitalized “Ethernet,” such as interface fortyGigE
0/0
show run |
grep ethernet
does not return the previous search result because it only
searches for instances containing a noncapitalized
“ethernet”
show run |
grep Ethernet
ignore-case
returns instances containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet”
no-more
does not paginate the display output
save
copies the output to a file for future use
Displaying All Output
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-more option after the pipe. This
operation is similar to the terminal length screen-length command except that the no-more
option affects the output of just the specified command. For example: Dell#show running-config|
no-more.
Filtering the Command Output Multiple Times
You can filter a single command output multiple times. To filter a command output multiple times, place
the save option as the last filter. For example: Dell# command | grep regular-expression |
except regular-expression | grep other-regular-expression | find regular-
expression | no-more | save
.
Command Modes
To navigate and launch various CLI modes, use specific commands. Navigation to these modes is
described in the following sections.
BGP ADDRESS-FAMILY Mode
To enable or configure IPv4 or IPv6 for BGP, use BGP ADDRESS-FAMILY mode. For more information, see
