Description 
This command is used to display the content of the current configuration, the configuration to be

The output stream of the configuration data can be filtered by the expression specified at the end 
of the command. The expression can contain up to three multiple filter evaluations. A filter 
evaluation begins with a filter type (include, exclude, and begin), followed by up to three filter 
strings (ex: “stp”). A filter string is enclosed by symbol ". The following describes the meaning of 
the each filter type. 
include: includes lines that contain the specified filter string. 
exclude: excludes lines that contain the specified filter string 
begin: The first line that contains the specified filter string will be the first line of the output. 
 
The relationship of multiple filter strings following the same filter type is OR. That is, one line is 
qualified if one of specified filter strings is matched. 
 
If more than one filter evaluation is specified; the output of filtered by the former evaluation will be 
used as the input of the latter evaluation.
