multiple pipe search

jayeshhalarnekar — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:46:43 GMT

Hi All,

I want to search for a wwn in show fcns database detail command
switch# show fcns database | include fc:58
0x830045 N xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:fc:58 (HP)

However this command does not give me the rest of the important details which would be normally mentioned as listed below.

VSAN:1 FCID:0x690000
------------------------
port-wwn (vendor) :10:00:00:0d:ec:af:fe:05 (Cisco)
node-wwn :20:00:00:0d:ec:af:fe:00
class :2,3
node-ip-addr :0.0.0.0
ipa :ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
fc4-types:fc4_features :ipfc
symbolic-port-name :
symbolic-node-name :
port-type :N
port-ip-addr :192.180.1.5
fabric-port-wwn :22:00:00:0d:ec:af:fe:02
hard-addr :0x000000
permanent-port-wwn (vendor) :00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
connected interface :Not Available
switch name (IP address) :switch (ip addr)

Is there a way to search multiple things which will still allow me to include the important details like switch ip and name etc.

Any help is much appreciated

Besides using the pipe '|' as an OR function, I often use the 'p' for previous lines and 'n' for next lines.

Ancient post, but I'll pile on with a new comment too.

In Nexus you can use grep and return the lines before or after the match:

This returns the fcns database entry line for Server 1 and the following 2 lines (notice the -A)

#sh fcns database | grep -A 2 "Server1"

This returns the fcns database entry line for Server 1 and the 2 lines before the match (notice the -B)

#sh fcns database | grep -B 2 "Server1"

I particularity like this when I'm looking at the flogi database, because there are 2 lines for every entry (at least on the N5K platform).

#sh flogi database | grep -A 1 "Server1"

Kinda the same as mooneyj's post above.

I wish that IOS-XE would've stolen this. It's a very useful feature. Cough cough....

Just tested the following and it worked.

show chassis detail | egrep "Model|Power| Serial"
