Using the Command-Line Interface in Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE Software
To use one of these output modifiers, type the command followed by the pipe symbol (|), the modifier,
and the regular expression that you want to search for or filter. A regular expression is a case-sensitive
alphanumeric pattern. It can be a single character or number, a phrase, or a more complex string.
The following example illustrates how to filter output of the show interface command to display only
lines that include the expression "protocol."
Router# show interface | include protocol
FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/0 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/1 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/2 is administratively down, line protocol is down
Serial4/3 is administratively down, line protocol is down
