Displaying lines containing a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show interface command for port 3/11 so it
displays only lines containing the word “Internet”. This command can be used to display the IP
address of the interface.
BigIron RX# show interface e 3/11 | include Internet
Internet address is 192.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet
Syntax: <show-command> | include <regular-expression>
NOTE
The vertical bar ( | ) is part of the command.
Note that the regular expression specified as the search string is case sensitive. In the example
above, a search string of “Internet” would match the line containing the IP address.
Displaying lines that do not contain a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays only lines that
do not contain the word “closed”. This command can be used to display open connections to the
Brocade device.

Displaying lines starting with a specified string

about SSH connections to the device.
