The behavior of each show command is covered in relevant sections of the documentation.

Output Modifiers

show commands support a limited set of output modifiers which are invoked by adding a pipe character (|) after the command followed by one of the supported modifiers and its arguments. These include:

  • | match <pattern>

  • | exclude <pattern>

  • | tail <num>

  • | count

Warning

When using output modifiers there must be a space before and after the pipe character (|). For example, a | b is valid, but a|b is invalid.

Match

The | match <pattern> modifier filters the output to lines matching the given pattern. The pattern supports some regular expression conventions such as using . to match any single character, .* to match any string, and | between multiple patters to match any of the given patterns.

Tip

Some pattern components may need a leading backslash, such as \. to match a literal period character. The \ must be typed twice as the first press escapes the second.

Example:

tnsr# show route table default | match 10\.30\.
10.30.0.1/24       via                    LAN weight 1 preference 0
10.30.0.1/32       via 10.30.0.1          local LAN weight 1 preference 0
10.30.1.1/24       via                    DMZ weight 1 preference 0
10.30.1.1/32       via 10.30.1.1          local DMZ weight 1 preference 0

Exclude

The | exclude <pattern> modifier filters the output such that it excludes lines matching the given pattern.

Example:

tnsr# show route table default | exclude 10\.30\.

Route Table default  AF: ipv4  ID: 0
-----------------------------------------
0.0.0.0/0          via 203.0.113.1        WAN weight 1 preference 0
10.15.30.2/24      via                    FIBER weight 1 preference 0
10.15.30.2/32      via 10.15.30.2         local FIBER weight 1 preference 0
203.0.113.30/24    via                    WAN weight 1 preference 0
203.0.113.30/32    via 203.0.113.30       local WAN weight 1 preference 0

Tail

The | tail <num> modifier filters the output so only the last <num> lines of the output are returned.

Example:

tnsr# show route table default | tail 2
203.0.113.30/24    via                    WAN weight 1 preference 0
203.0.113.30/32    via 203.0.113.30       local WAN weight 1 preference 0

Count

The | count modifier does not print any of the output, instead it prints a count indicating the number of lines in the output.

Example:

tnsr# show route table default | count
12

Note

The count also includes any leading or trailing blank lines in the output.
