I'm aware that you can you use | at the end of a 'show' command to add output modifiers, such as to filter on a VLAN, i.e., show interface status | include 500, to show the status of interfaces in VLAN 500. I'm curious to know more about the output modifiers and how they can be used, but I can't seem to find any reference to them in the documentation. They clearly don't work exactly the same as in the MASs, so it would be helpful to see a summary of them. Does such a thing exist?

Hi, I can see begin, exclude and include.

Thanks

Thanks, that's helpful.

Hi jkoelker@orcsd.org, it looks like you're referring to the ArubaOS-Switch grammar (indeed the ArubaOS-CX's grammar hasn't such status option on the equivalent show interfaces CLI command). Note how the CLI Command is show interfaces and not just show interface.

If so, as example, on the Aruba 3810 / 5400R Management and Configuration Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.10 (that's valid also for other switch series) there is this tiny paragraph at page 596:

Is that what are you looking for?

Yeah, I guess it is - I had just hoped for something a bit more than that. For example, I was wondering about the possibility of combining more than one expression in the filter - so , for example, if I wanted to look at only the interfaces in VLAN 500 with the status of Down, I could put both of those into the piped output, something like:

show interfaces status | include 500,Down

- but I guess that doesn't exist at present.

Thanks!

 It's not the same thing (because the command's output on which you apply the pattern matching differs)...but what's about trying with a simple:

show vlan 500 | include "Down"

 I think concatenated pipes is not supported so, at best, a way could be to use regular expressions (but it could be difficult to extrapolate what you're looking from the provided output).

Yes, that works - thanks for the tip. Guess I need to do a little more experimenting! Appreciate the input.

Hey @jkoelker@orcsd.org the release of software version 16.10.0007, published today, added a nice CLI enhancement, concatenated pipes:

Great! Thanks for the tip!! Appreciate it.
