This example displays the contents of a file residing in the current directory.
switch# show file myfile
Saving Command Output to a File
You can force all screen output to go to a file by appending > filename to any command. For example,
enter show interface > samplefile at the EXEC mode switch prompt to save the interface configuration
to samplefile—a file created at the same directory level. At the EXEC mode switch prompt, issue a dir
command to view all files in this directory, including the recently saved samplefile.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide for further information.
Note Redirection is allowed only if the current directory is on the volatile: (default) or slot0: file systems.
Redirection is not allowed if the current directory is on the
bootflash: file system. The current directory
can be viewed using the pwd command and changed using the cd command.
Directing show Command Output to a File
You can direct show command output to a file, either on the volatile file system, on slot0 CompactFlash
memory, or on a remote server.
The following example shows how to direct the show running-config output to a file on the volatile file
system.
switch1# show running-config > volatile:switch1-run.cfg
The following example shows how to direct the show running-config output to a file on slot0
CompactFlash memory.
switch2# show running-config > slot0:switch2-run.cfg
The following example shows how to direct the show running-config output to a file on a TFTP server.
switch3# show running-config > tftp://10.10.1.1/home/suser/switch3-run.cfg

Compressing and Uncompressing Files
The gzip command compresses (zips) the specified file using LZ77 coding.
This example directs the output of the show tech-support command to a file (Samplefile) and then zips
the file and displays the difference in the space used up in the volatile: directory:
switch# show tech-support > Samplefile
