Using show Commands

The CLI show commands can be used in the MD-CLI as well as in the classic CLI, in the following ways:

use /show or show (while in the operational root []) in the MD-CLI engine
use show in the classic CLI engine

(ex)[/]
A:admin@node-2# show port port-id 1/1/1 description

===============================================================================
Port Descriptions on Slot 1
===============================================================================
Port Id        Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/1          10-Gig Ethernet
===============================================================================

(ex)[/]
A:admin@node-2# configure router

(ex)[/configure router "Base"]
A:admin@node-2# show port port-id 1/1/1 description
                ^^^^
MINOR: MGMT_CORE #2201: Unknown element - 'show'

(ex)[/configure router "Base"]
A:admin@node-2# /show port port-id 1/1/1 description
===============================================================================
Port Descriptions on Slot 1
===============================================================================
Port Id        Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/1          10-Gig Ethernet
===============================================================================

Output modifiers (match, count, and no-more) can also be used with the show command. See Using Output Modifiers in the MD-CLI.

Classic CLI Command Availability

Classic CLI commands that are accessible in the MD-CLI show outputs of the same information and provide the same functionality in the MD-CLI as they do in the classic CLI. No additional outputs or enhancements are included in the MD-CLI.

Note: Follow the classic CLI context when using the show command. For example, route policy information is displayed using the show router policy command in both the MD-CLI and classic CLI engines, even though this information is configured in the configure policy-options context in the MD-CLI and in the configure router policy-options context in the classic CLI.

The following classic CLI show commands are not available in the MD-CLI:

show alias
show bof (use the MD-CLI admin show configuration command or the info command in the bof configuration region instead)
show config (use the MD-CLI admin show configuration command or the info command in the configure configuration region instead)
show debug
show system candidate
show system rollback
