Saving the output from a display command to a file
A display command shows certain configuration and operation information of the device. Its output might vary over time or with user configuration or operation. You can save the output to a file for future retrieval or troubleshooting.
Use one of the following methods to save the output from a display command:
Save the output to a separate file. Use this method if you want to use one file for a single display command.
Append the output to the end of a file. Use this method if you want to use one file for multiple display commands.
To save the output from a display command to a file, use one of the following commands in any view:
Task | Command |
|---|---|
Save the output from a display command to a separate file. | display command > filename |
Append the output from a display command to the end of a file. | display command >> filename |
For example:
# Save the VLAN 1 settings to a separate file named vlan.txt.
<Sysname> display vlan 1 > vlan.txt
# Verify that the VLAN 1 settings are saved to the file vlan.txt.
<Sysname> more vlan.txt VLAN ID: 1 VLAN type: Static Route interface: Not configured Description: VLAN 0001 Name: VLAN 0001 Tagged ports: None Untagged ports: None
# Append the VLAN 999 settings to the end of the file vlan.txt.
<Sysname> display vlan 999 >> vlan.txt
# Verify that the VLAN 999 settings are appended to the end of the file vlan.txt.
<Sysname> more vlan.txt VLAN ID: 1 VLAN type: Static Route interface: Not configured Description: VLAN 0001 Name: VLAN 0001 Tagged ports: None Untagged ports: None VLAN ID: 999 VLAN type: Static Route interface: Configured IP address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Description: For LAN Access Name: VLAN 0999 Tagged ports: None Untagged ports: None
