Find feature within show running-config in IOS
The nice thing working with Cisco is that you always hear about features from which you never heard before. This is also true for the following feature.
When you do a show run on – for instance – a Cisco router, you can press / to quickly find parts of the config. This is nice when you have very large configs.
The following output show me quickly the configuration for port Gi13/18 on a Cisco switch without scrolling through the entire config!
