USING ‘SHOW’ COMMANDS
The family of ‘show’ commands is the cornerstone of CLI-based system monitoring. Most features
implement one or more ‘show’ commands that will display a relevant mix of status and configuration.
Please note: The exact set of available commands, parameters and output format depends on the system
configuration and software version, so some of the following commands and examples may not be
applicable to all systems.
‘show’ commands exist only in the two Exec modes and are subject to session privilege level
enforcement. Therefore, listing the largest possible set of ‘show’ commands requires the session to be at
level 15.
Showing Available Commands
Example: Listing All ‘show’ Commands
The following example raises the session privilege level to 15. In this example an ‘enable secret’ has
been specified, so password entry is required to proceed.
Then the user inputs ‘show’ and uses the context-sensitive help feature to list the possible show
commands, in this case for a Carrier Ethernet system.
