I’ve just noticed something useful in IOS. If you have a long listing from a command, and the IOS is doing a “more” function, you can use a slash (‘/’) to skip to a string, just like in UNIX.
For example, if you do a show run, and what interests you is the OSPF, you can type /ospf, and the listing will skip to the next instance of that string and show you a window-full from there on. If you have done that once, and you want to skip to the next instance of “ospf”, the just type slash (‘/’) and return – it assumes the previous string.
This nicely complements the “sec” filter option.
