Searching for something?
November 9, 2009
Everybody knows how to use the include|begin|exclude search operators (I hope so at least), but you can also search through config with the “/” operator. You can use this with almost any SHOW command that is more than one page long. Although similar to linux and useful it is only half as good.
I use this mostly when I want to see the configuration following a specific search string bound to show up multiple times from the SHOW command.
Example: Show the running-config, and one the first page break, hit the forward slash “/”. Now enter the string you looking for:
Hit enter to jump to the first match:
This can be repeated a second, third and fourth time etc, by just hitting forward slash and no search criteria.
/ <ENTER>
