Can you try

sh mac address-table | exclude Gi0/1|Fa0/5

Got it. is it exclude is equal to "and" whereas include is equal to "or"

sh mac address-table | exclude Gi0/1|Fa0/5 

sh mac address-table | include Gi0/1|Fa0/5

Please rate helpul posts.

The simplified command-structrure is:

| {begin | include | exclude}

"include" shows only lines that contain the regular expression.

"exclude" shows only lines that not contain the regular expression.

The "or" comes into play with the regular expression. That's a pattern which descibres what you want to filter.

In this case it's a simple one, it means "Gi0/1" OR "Fa0/5" (OR = "|")

General information about limiting the output of show-commands you can find here:

Information and examples about Cisco's regular expressions:

At first it might seem complicated but iIt's worth obtaining some basic knowledge of regular expressions - that's what the CLI makes much more powerful than any GUI.
