Filtering Command

[RashikaBatra]

I only want to filter out the names of the interfaces of  a switch using the command "Show interface status". How can I apply filtering to this command?

if the port have description, you can do below : (if not please let us know)

#show interfaces description

[Jitendra Kumar]

#sh ip int brief

Actually I am writing a python script ...so I want to  filter out only the names of the interfaces to append them to a separate python list.

command level give us the output with show commands ?

this is command reference 

show interfaces [interface interface-number] status [err-disabled | module number | vlan vlan]

You might also pipe the output and possibly "include" or "exclude" what you want to capture from your show interface status command.

My problem got solved using use_textfsm = True in the netmiko library.

Thank You.

textfsm, TTS, genie - good modules (i used lot)

since we do not know your requirement - we are not suggested or given advise as expected.

I was supposed to filter out the output of the command show interface status to get only the interface names.
