show Command Output Redirection

The show Command Output Redirection feature provides the capability to redirect output from Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) show commands and more commands to a file.

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 following keywords:
