ExtremeSwitching (EXOS)

Hey,

Often times I just want a quick print out of the live config on a switch and see if there are any oddities.The problem is many of the per-port commands (QPs, DiffServ Exam/Replace, LLDP/CDP/EDP) add a config line entry for each port. If I have a stack of 48 port switches even the most basic config can span hundreds and hundreds of lines. Is there a way to show a condensed show configuration" command?

For example, issuing a single command to enable full LLDP TLVs adds ~250 lines to the configuration per switch.

Hello Kyler,

You may do filtering config per module and also do grep for including/excluding config lines, like in example below:

SW2.1 # sh configuration

Thanks Nikolay.

I should have stated that I already use include and categories when I can , I'm just wondering if there's a way to condense the config into something similar to the commands someone would actually enter.

For example, I'm on a stack of two X460-48t switches and someone entered:
create qosprofile QP2
create qosprofile QP5
create qosprofile QP6[/code]Those three commands resulted in 350 lines being added to the running configuration with each line being for a specific QP for a specific port:
...
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:1
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:2
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:3
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:4
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:5
...[/code]Whereas most vendors would condense this down into:
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 1:1-1:58
configure qosprofile QP2 minbw 0 maxbw 100 ports 2:1-2:58[/code]For most vendors showing the running config is considered to be the go-to command when trying to figure out how a switch has been configured. Configuration categories and the include command are useful if I already know what I'm looking for but I'm finding that's the case less and less often the more I work :)

The closest thing to this that I'm aware of is the "show config clean" script that we've got on our GitHub:
https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/tree/master/EXOS/Python/show_config_clean

By adding some additional logic to this script, it could be updated to further condense configuration lines like you're suggesting.
