Preface
Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product,
technology, or solution. Two types of support are available: the Ci sco TAC website and the Cisco TAC
Escalation Center. The type of support that you choose depends on t he priorit y of the proble m and the
conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
• Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance conc erni n g Cisc o pr odu ct c apa bil ities,
product installation, or basic product configuration. There is little or no impact to yo ur business
operations.
• Priority level 3 (P3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, but most business
operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal
business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
• Priority level 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects
of your business operations are negatively impacted by inadeq ua te pe rform an ce of Cisc o pro duct s.
You and Cisco will commit full-ti me resour ces dur ing normal business hours to resolve the
situation.
Obtaining Technical Assistance
• Priority level 1 (P1)—An existing network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business
operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the
situation.
Cisco TAC Website
The Cisco TAC website provides online documents and tools to help troubleshoot and resolve technical
issues with Cisco products and technologies. To access the Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to
the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website
require a Cisco.co m login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login
ID or password, go t o th is URL to register :
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registere d user, and you cannot resol ve your tech ni cal issues by using the Cisco
TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet acc ess , we re com mend tha t y ou open P3 and P4 case s onl ine so that y ou ca n fu lly
describe the situation and attach any necessary files.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
OL-3354-01
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These
classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations.
When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer
automatically opens a case.

Chapter 1Comman d-Line Interface
Using the No and Default Forms of Commands
Using the No and Default Forms of Commands
Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, enter the no form to disable a function.
Use the command without the ke y w o rd no to reenable a disabled function or to enable a function that is
disabled by default. For example, IP rou ting is enab led by default. To disable IP routing, specify th e
no ip routing command and specify ip routing to reenable it. This publication provides the complete
syntax for the configuration comm ands an d describ es what the no fo rm of a comma nd does.
Configuration commands can have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command
setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no
form. However, some co mm an ds ar e en ab led b y de f au lt and have variab les set to certain default values.
In these cases, the default form of the command enables the command and sets variables to their default
values. This publication describes what the default form of a c omma nd doe s if t he com ma nd is not th e
same as the no form.
Using the CLI String Search
The pattern in the comm and output is refer red to as a str ing. The CLI string search featu re allows you to
search or filter a ny show or more command outp ut and allows you to sear ch and filter at --More- -
prompts. This feature is useful when you need to sort though large amou nts of output, or if you want to
exclude output that you do not ne ed to see.
With the search function, you can begin unfiltered output at the first line that contains a regular
expression you specify. Y ou can then specify a maximum of one filter per command or start a new search
from the --More -- prom pt .
A regular expression is a patt ern (a phr ase , num be r, or more c ompl ex pat tern ) sof twar e use s to ma tc h
against show or more command output. Regular expressions are case sensitive and allow for complex
matching requiremen ts. Examp les of simple regular expressio ns are Ser ial, misses, and 138. Ex ample s
of complex regular expressions are 00 210..., ( is ), and [Oo]u tput.
You can perform thr ee t y pes of filterin g:
• Use the begin keyword to begin output with the l ine t hat con tai ns a spe cified r egular expr ession .
• Use the include keyword to include output line s th at co ntain a sp eci fied regula r expr essio n.
• Use the exclude keyword to excl ude out p ut l ine s tha t con t ain a spec ified r egular expressi o n.
You can then search this filtered outpu t at the --M ore-- prom pts.
NoteThe CLI string search func tion doe s not allow you to search or filter backward through previous output;
filtering cannot be specified using HTTP access to the CLI.
Regular Expressions
A regular expression can be a single character that matches the same single character in the command
output or multiple characters that match the same multiple characters in the command output. This
section describes how to create both single-character patterns and multiple-character patterns and how
to create more complex regular expressions using multiplie rs, alterna tion, anc horing, a nd parenthe ses.

Using the CLI String Search
Single-Character Patterns
The simplest regular expression is a single character that matches the same single character in the
command output. You can use any letter (A-Z, a-z) or digit (0-9) as a single-character pattern. You can
also use other keyboard characters (such as ! or ~) as single-character patterns, but certain keyboard
characters have spec i al m e an in g w h en us e d in r egul ar expr essi o ns. Table 1-3 lists the keyboard
characters with special meaning.

To enter these special characters as single-character patterns, remove the special meaning by preceding

Yo u ca n spe cif y a ra nge o f s ingl e-c har act er patt erns to match a gainst co mm an d o utput . For exam ple ,
you can create a regular expression that ma tche s a stri ng cont ai ning on e of the following lett ers: a, e, i,
o, or u. One and only one of these characters must exist in the string for pattern matching to succeed. To
specify a range of single-character patterns, enclose the single-character patterns in square brackets
([ ]). For exampl e,
[aeiou]
matches any one of the five vowels of the lowercase alphabet, while
[abcdABCD]
matches any one of the first four letters of the lower- or uppercase alphabet.
Yo u can si mplify r anges by e nter ing only t he e nd poin ts of the range sepa ra ted by a d ash ( -). Sim pli fy
the previous range as follows:
[a-dA-D]
To add a dash as a single-character pattern in your range, include another dash and precede it with a
backslash:
[a-dA-D\-]
You can also include a right square bracket (]) as a single-character pattern in your range. To do so, enter
the following:
1-6
[a-dA-D\-\]]

The previous example m a tches any on e of the first fou r lett ers o f th e lower- or up perc ase al ph ab et, a
dash, or a right square bra cket.
You can reverse the matching of the range by including a caret (^) at the start of the range. This example
matches any letter except the ones listed:
[^a-dqsv]
This example matc he s anythin g exc ep t a rig ht sq uare br acket (]) o r th e l etter d :
[^\]d]
Multiple-Character Patterns
When creating regular expressions, you can also specify a pattern containing multiple characters. You
create multiple-character regular expressions by joining letters, digits, or keyboard characters that do not
have special meaning. For example, a4% is a multi ple-cha racte r regular expressi on. Put a backsl ash in
front of the keyboar d ch arac t ers t h at h ave specia l m eani n g wh en yo u want to r em ove their spe cia l
meaning.
With multiple-character patterns, order is important. The regular expression a4% matches the character
a followed by a 4 followed by a % sign. If the string does no t have a4%, in that order, pattern m atc hing
fails. This multiple-character regular expression
Using the CLI String Search
Multipliers
a.
uses the special meaning of the period character to match the letter a followed by any single character.
With this example, the strings ab, a!, or a2 are all valid matches for the regular expression.
You can remove the special meaning of the period character by putting a backslash in front of it. In the
following expression
a\.
only the string a. m atche s this regul ar expression.
Yo u can cr eate a mu ltiple-c har acter regular expre ssion cont aining a ll letter s, all di gits, all keyboard

Catalyst 6500 Series Switch MSFCCommand Reference—Release 12.1(13)E

Using the CLI String Search
This pattern requires that at least one letter a in the string is matched:
a+
This pattern ma tche s th e string bb or b ab:
ba?b
This string matche s any num be r of a sterisk s (* ):
\**
To use multipliers with multiple-character patterns, you enclose the pattern in parentheses. In the
following example, the pattern matches any number of the multiple-character string ab:
(ab)*
As a more complex example, this pattern matches one or more instances of alphanumeric pairs (but not
none; that is, an emp ty stri ng is not a ma tch ):
([A-Za-z][0-9])+
The order for matches using multiplier s (*, +, or ?) is t o put the longest co nstruct fi rst. Nested co nstructs
are matched from outs ide to insi de. Conca tenate d const ructs ar e match ed beginning at the left side of
the construct. Thus, the regular expression matches A9b3, but not 9Ab3 because the letters are specified
before the numb er s.
Chapter1Command-Line Interface
Alternation
Anchoring
Alternation allows you to specify alternative patterns to match against a string. You separate the
alternative patterns with a vertical bar (|). Exactly one of the alternatives can match the string. For
example, the regula r expr es sio n
codex | tel ebit
matches the strin g cod ex or t he st rin g teleb it, but not both co dex and t elebi t.
Yo u can ma tch a r egular expression pa tt ern agai nst th e b eginning or the en d of the string. T hat is, yo u
can specify that the beginni ng or e nd of a strin g co ntai n s a speci fic pattern . You “anchor” these regular
expressions to a portion of the string usin g the specia l characters shown in Table 1-5.
Table 1-5Special Characters Used for Anchoring
CharacterDescription
^Ma tches t he beginnin g of the string .
$ Matches the end of the string.
This regular expression mat ches a stri ng o nl y if the string st art s wi th a bcd :
1-8
^abcd
In contrast, this expression is in a ra nge that ma tches any singl e letter, as long as it is not the lette rs a,
b, c, or d:
[^abcd]
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch MSFCCommand Reference—Release 12.1(13)E
OL-3354-01
Chapter 1Comman d-Line Interface
With this example, the regular expression matches a st ring that ends with .12:
$\.12
Contrast these anchoring characters with the special character underscore (_). The underscore matches
the beginning of a string (^), the end of a string ($), parentheses ( ), space ( ), braces { }, comma (,), or
underscore (_). With the underscore character, you can specify that a pattern exist anywhere in the string.
For example:
_1300_
matches any string that has 1300 somewhere in the string. The string’s 1300 can be preceded by or end
with a space, brace, comma, or underscore. For example:
{1300_
matches the regular expression, but 21300 and 13000 do not.
Using the underscore cha racter, you can repla ce long regular expression list s, such as the fol lowing:
As shown in the “Multipliers” section on pa ge 1-7, you use parentheses with multiple-character regular
expressions to multiply the occurrence of a pattern. You can also use parentheses around a single- or
multiple-character pattern to remember a pattern for use elsewhere in the regular expression.
To create a regular expressi on that rec alls a previous patter n, you use pare ntheses to indicate a
remembered specif ic p attern and a b ackslash (\) foll owe d by an integ er to reuse the remembe red pattern .
The integer specifies the occurrence of the parentheses in the regular expression pattern. If you have
more than one remembered pa ttern in yo ur regular expressi on, then \1 in dicates the first remember ed
pattern, \2 ind ica tes the sec ond rem embe re d pat tern, a nd so on .
This regular expression uses parent heses for re call:
a(.)bc(.)\1\2
This regular expressi on ma tc hes a n a fol lowed by any char ac te r ( cal l i t c hara c ter 1) , foll owed by bc
followed by any character (character 2), followed by character 1 again, followed by character 2 again.
The regular e xpress ion can ma tch aZbcT ZT. The software remembers that charac ter 1 is Z and charac ter
2 is T and then uses Z and T again later in the regular expression .
alt Keyword Usage
When you enable hig h-availability re du ndancy, every configuration command executed on the
