3.7.8 Pipe/Count
The 7705 SAR supports a pipe/count command (...| count) that provides a count of
the number of lines that would have otherwise been displayed. The pipe/count
command is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the pipe/match
command in order to count the number of output lines that match a specified pattern.
For example:
*A:ALU-12# show service service-using vprn
===============================================================================
Services [vprn]
===============================================================================
ServiceId Type Adm Opr CustomerId Service Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 VPRN Down Down 1
44 VPRN Up Up 1
100 VPRN Down Down 1
102 VPRN Up Up 1
235 VPRN Down Down 1
1000 VPRN Down Down 1000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matching Services : 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
*A:ALU-12# show service service-using vprn | match Down | count
Count: 4 lines
*A:ALU-12#
3.7.9 Redirection
The 7705 SAR supports redirection (“>”) which allows the operator to store the
output of a CLI command as a local or remote file. Redirection of output can be used
to automatically store results of commands in files (both local and remote).
‘ping <customer_ip> > cf3:/ping/result.txt’
‘ping <customer_ip> > ftp://ron@ftp.alcatel.com/ping/result.txt’
In some cases only part of the output might be applicable. The pipe/match and
redirection commands can be combined:
ping 10.0.0.1 | match expression “time.\d+” > cf3:/ping/time.txt
This records only the RTT portion (including the word “time”).
