show configuration

NOTE: This command behaves exactly the same as the command show startup-config. It is provided for historical reasons only.

Displays the contents of the startup configuration.

show startup-config [ | { include | exclude | begin | begin } <exp> ]
 
                    [ > <url> ]
 

• exp--a regular expression, to be used as a filter
• url--destination for output

System operations mode, privileged-level access. Can also be executed in configuration (config) mode.

Use the show startup-config command to display the contents of the startup configuration.

You can pipe the command through one of the following filters:

• include--shows all commands present in the startup configuration which contain a match to the specified regular expression
• exclude--shows all commands present in the startup configuration except those which contain a match to the specified regular expression
• begin--shows all commands present in the startup configuration beginning with the first match to the specified regular expression

The vertical-line pipe character is required when a filter is used:

PathControl8# show startup-config | include interface
 
interface Ethernet 0/0
 
interface Ethernet 3/0
 
interface Ethernet 4/0
 
interface Ethernet 9/0
 
  polling interface-ip-address 172.30.100.54
 
  polling interface-ip-address 172.29.100.54
 

 

You can send the output to a remote file location, by piping the display to a remote URL (leading > required). See the copy command for URL syntax.
