Display configuration of selected interface

The options provided in this feature allow you to display all the configurations on a specified interface or VLAN with a single command. You can use the options with the startup config command, show config, and the running config command, show running-config.

Running configuration output

You can display the running configuration using this command. An example of this output is shown in the ‘Running Configuration Output for Interfaces A2–A4’ example below.

Syntax

show running-config [interface <port-list | loopback <0-7> | vlan vlan-id-list] [structured]

Displays running configuration information about the selected interface when one is specified. The interfaces can be ports, VLANs, or SVLANs.

Note: For the 5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl switches, when the command is executed in enhanced secure mode the following prompt displays:
Do you want to show sensitive information(y/n)?
If ‘y’ is entered, the normal command output is displayed on the console. If ‘n’ is entered, all the sensitive information is hidden and will be displayed as asterisks (‘*****’). The default option is ‘n’ when interactive mode is disabled. For more information, see the chapter "Secure Mode (5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl)" in the Access Security Guide for your switch.

structured: Groups the config command information output in a logical manner. When the structured option is entered, the output displays the configuration settings, such as spanning-tree, followed by a list of all the switch interfaces showing any configured settings for each interface. The VLAN configuration information is displayed after the interface information.

When the structured option is not entered, the output first displays only the interfaces that have configuration settings. The other settings, such as spanning-tree, are displayed after the interfaces, and then the VLAN configuration information is displayed.


	NOTE: Theshow running config interface/vlan/svlan command output cannot be downloaded to the switch; it will not download correctly. Copying and pasting the displayed configuration information into the switch configuration is not supported. This feature only provides a display of all the configuration information for a selected interface or range of interfaces in a single view.

Running configuration output for interfaces A2 - A4

The example below shows an example of the running config file for a range of interfaces after some configuration changes have been made.

Running config output for a range of interfaces

Startup configuration output

You can display the startup configuration using this command. An example of the startup configuration output is shown in the ‘Startup Configuration Output’ example below.

Syntax

show config [interface <port-list | loopback <0-7> | vlan<vlan-id-list> ]

Displays startup configuration information about the selected interface when one is specified. The interfaces can be ports, VLANs, or SVLANs.

Note: For the 5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl switches, when the command is executed in enhanced secure mode the following prompt displays:
Do you want to show sensitive information(y/n)?
If ‘y’ is entered, the normal command output is displayed on the console. If ‘n’ is entered, all the sensitive information is hidden and will be displayed as asterisks (‘*****’). The default option is ‘n’ when interactive mode is disabled. For more information, see the chapter "Secure Mode (5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl)" in the Access Security Guide for your switch.
