HackMDIOS Command-Line Interface
Basic Commands
Commands that generate multiple screens of output are, by default, paused after 24 lines. Use the terminal length command to specify the number of lines to be displayed. A value of 0 (zero) prevents the router from pausing between screens of output.
Filtering Output
Another very useful feature that improves the user experience in the CLI is the filtering of show output. Filtering commands can be used to display specific sections of output. To enable the filtering command, enter a pipe (|) character after the show command and then enter a filtering parameter and a filtering expression.
There are four filtering parameters that can be configured after the pipe.
- – section
- – include
- – exclude
- – begin
Command History
The command history feature is useful because it temporarily stores the list of executed commands to be recalled. By default, command history is enabled and the system captures the last 10 command lines in its history buffer.
Use the terminal history size user EXEC command to increase or decrease the size of the buffer (during the current terminal session only). Use the show history privileged EXEC command to display the contents of the buffer.
