Information About show Command Output Redirection
This feature enhances the show commands in the Cisco IOS CLI to allow large amounts of data output to be written directly to a file for later reference. This file can be saved on local or remote storage devices such as Flash, a SAN Disk, or an external memory device.
For each show command issued, a new file can be created, or the output can be appended to an existing file. Command output can optionally be displayed on-screen while being redirected to a file by using the tee keyword. Redirection is available using a pipe (|) character after any show command, combined with the followingkeywords:
Output redirection keywords:
Keyword
Usage
append
Append redirected output to URL (URLs supporting append operation only)
begin
Begin with the line that matches
count
Count number of lines which match regexp
exclude
Exclude lines that match
format
Format the output using the specified spec file
include
Include lines that match
redirect
Redirect output to URL
tee
Copy output to URL
These extenstions can also be added to more commands.
