Have you ever used /, + and – IOS commands in a router?

These commands are similar to last week’s ‘|’ command, but these can be used to parse output several times in a single show command. This is very handy in situations where you have to search for a particular portion of text in a lengthy output.

/   : Displays output from the next entry of search text

+   : Displays lines of output which contains search text

-   : Displays lines of output which does not contain search text

Examples

Sh run --> /bgp         = Output starting from “bgp”

Sh run --> +interface = Output lines containing “interface”

Sh run --> -line          = Output lines without “line”
