Hello Peter,

Hi

Is there a way to show current configuration in a context in configuration mode?

as an example

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:9k(config)#l2vpn bridge group L2_DCS bridge-domain 502
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:9k(config-l2vpn-bg-bd)#

If i stand here the only way to see active configuration is

show running-config l2vpn bridge group L2_DCS bridge-domain 502

I would like to just run a simple command like show current and get the active configuration for that context. You can do this in equipment from other vendors like junos (show) or alcatel (info) and get the current configuration.

Regards Peter

Hello Peter,

You can check the same on IOS-XR as follows:

Below is what I am configuring:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#conf t

Sat Jun 11 07:44:22.190 UTC

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#router bgp 300

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#neighbor 1.1.1.1

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#remote-as 100

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ipv4 unicast

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#route-policy pass in

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#route-policy pass out

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#

Please note, I am in the neighbor's address-family config mode, hence I only see active configuration of the address-family.

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#show

Sat Jun 11 07:45:08.470 UTC

router bgp 300

neighbor 1.1.1.1

address-family ipv4 unicast

route-policy pass in

route-policy pass out

!

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#exit

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#exit

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#exit

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#

Please note, I go all the way to config mode, and I can see the active configuration that I am working on.

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#show

Sat Jun 11 07:45:25.183 UTC

Building configuration...

!! IOS XR Configuration 5.3.1

router bgp 300

neighbor 1.1.1.1

remote-as 100

address-family ipv4 unicast

route-policy pass in

route-policy pass out

!

end

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#

The command you could use is, "show" or "show configuration" or "show conf". The actual command is "show configuration"

Hope this helps.

Hi

This I know that you can do. What im looking for is a way when standing in an context in configuration mode, to see already commited configuration for that context without the need to do a show run xxxx xxxx xxx.

As an example from alu. As you can see when i do info i get the current configuration for that service. No need to do a show run xxx xxx xxx.

*A:alu# configure service epipe 505

*A:alu>config>service>epipe# info 
----------------------------------------------
 service-mtu 1564
 sap 2/1/14:505.* create
 ingress
 qos 2100
 exit
 egress
 qos 2100
 exit
 exit
 spoke-sdp 10002:505 create
 no shutdown
 exit
 no shutdown
----------------------------------------------

If i then go deeper into the configuation and go into the context for an SAP (VLAN) i can do the same thing there and only get the configuration for the SAP in a easy way

*A:alu>config>service>epipe# sap 2/1/14:505.* 
*A:alu>config>service>epipe>sap# info 
----------------------------------------------
 ingress
 qos 2100
 exit
 egress
 qos 2100
 exit
----------------------------------------------

Hello Peter

i dont think this functionality is supported on any Cisco Device at the moment. the only way you can look at the present configuration is to use the show run commands to view the configuration under a particular section on IOS XR.

What you could probably do is raise a case with Cisco and see if you can request for an enhancement.

Hope this answers your question.

I would really like this and I think a whole lot of other Network Engineers would as well.

show active configuration in a specific context in configuration mode.
