Keyboard Shortcuts
If you’re anything like me, having to switch between the keyboard
mouse feels like such a waste of time. If I can do it from the keyboard I
will! I’m still waiting for a way to use photoshop 100% from the
keyboard.. but I digress. These are the keyboard shortcuts I find myself
using the most.
| Ctrl+A | Move cursor to the beginning of the line |
| Ctrl+E | Move cursor to the end of the line |
| Up | Retrieve last command from history |
| Down | Retrieve next command from history |
| Ctrl+W | Erase previous word |
| Ctrl+U | Erase the entire line |
| Ctrl+C | Exit configuration mode |
| Ctrl+Z | Apply the current command and exit configuration mode |
Modifying output
Begin filters everything until the first instance of your specified pattern.
Router# show run | begin bgp
router bgp 65500
no synchronization
...
!
end
Section includes only the section of the config you specify
Router# show run | section int
interface FastEthernet0/0
no ip address
shutdown
speed auto
duplex auto
interface FastEthernet0/1
no ip address
shutdown
speed auto
duplex auto
Exclude filters lines that match your pattern
Router# show run | exclude !
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 754 bytes
version 12.2
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
no service password-encryption
hostname Router
boot-start-marker
boot-end-marker
no aaa new-model
...
end
Include pattern can contain regular expressions. So I will show you two examples of this being used.
Router# show run | inc ^interface|ip address
interface FastEthernet0
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
interface FastEthernet1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
Here is a second example that shows what interfaces have ACLs applied. In a future post I will dive deeper into regular expressions.
Router# sh ip int | inc line protocol|access list is [^ ]+$I hope some of these tips will help you out, in the future I will continue to publish more tidbits that will help you optimize your configurations. If you think I’ve left anything out, please comment below!
FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up
Inbound access list is deny10
FastEthernet1 is up, line protocol is up
Inbound access list is 11
FastEthernet2 is up, line protocol is up
