Defining the Configuration Output Format

You can define the show configuration command display output format using the service show-config command. You can specify format 1 keyword to display the show configuration command output in its original format. You can specify format 2 keyword to significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to generate and display output for configurations that contain three or more virtual routers and a large number of interfaces.

To define the show configuration command display output format:

Issue the service show-config command in Privileged Exec mode.

To set the show configuration command display output as format 2:

host1#service show-config format 2host1#show configuration

service show-config format 2
