CLI include with multiple patterns

  • 1.  CLI include with multiple patterns

    Posted Jan 08, 2021 04:56 PM
    Hello,

    I'm currently using AOS-CX 10.5 on an Aruba 6300 and 6405.

    I've been having problems trying "grep" for multiple patterns on a single command line.

    For example, if I do a "show lldp neighbor | include '<pattern1>', 'pattern2'",  it reports "Command not supported".

    What is the correct syntax for the command line so you can include multiple patterns?

    Thank you,
    rickr

    Hi Rick, IIRC the chaining could be done this way (example):

    show lldp neighbor | include <PATTERN-STRING-1> | include <PATTERN-STRING-2>
    Reference (example): ArubaOS-CX 10.5 Command Line Interface Guide for Aruba 8320 8325 Switch Series (Edition 1 July 2020).

    Hello David,

    Apparently, this command does not work.

    According to tech-support, searching for multiple patterns is not supported from the same output.

    This command "show lldp neighbor | include <PATTERN-STRING-1> | include <PATTERN-STRING-2>"
    looks into two STDOUT.

    STDOUT1 from the "show lldp" command, and STDOUT2, from the out of "include <PATTERN-STRING-1>"

    I need it to REGEX two patterns from the same STDOUT1

    I've requested this as  a feature request.  But who knows if this will go in.

    Thank you for your response.

    Use API (and PowerArubaCX) ;-))


    ------------------------------
    PowerArubaSW : Powershell Module to use Aruba Switch API for Vlan, VlanPorts, LACP, LLDP...

    PowerArubaCP: Powershell Module to use ClearPass API (create NAD, Guest...)

    PowerArubaCX: Powershell Module to use ArubaCX API (get interface/vlan/ports info)..

    ACEP / ACMX #107 / ACDX #1281

    0) Thank you for your response.

    1) Powershell is prohibited in our environment due to security concerns

    2) Using an API is not conducive to CLI real-time debugging. Unless a person writes a toolset, that is a bigger task than what I am looking for. And it would need to be flexible and dynamic for the scenarios perceived/defined.

    3) Do you have a PYTHON equivalent of your Powershell API?  If so, what are the links to get you started.

    Kind Regards,
    rickr

    I know this is an old post but...
    have you just tried |excluding all the stuff you dont want?...

    example...
    show vsf detail | exc Type | exc Model | exc Status | exc "ROM Version" | exc Uptime | exc "CPU Utilization" | exc "Memory Utilization" | exc "VSF Link 1" | exc "VSF Link 2"

    Output would be Just the Mac address and serial number from above command

    Hope this helps someone else!!
