Hi. Any one know how to extract Interface name and ip address for each working (UP) interface on Cisco device configuration? Configuration is already on flat files. Config file has many entries like one below: interface GigabitEthernet0/0 description To site LAN ip address 10.2.122.241 255.255.255.252 ip access-group virus-security in duplex auto speed auto media-type rj45 Need to grep for each device config only interface info and ip address, as long as interface is not shutdown. Thank you very much.

Try with this code SEARCH1="interface" SEARCH2="ip address" FILE="path of file" cat $FILE | \ while read line do INDEX1="`awk -v a="$line" -v b="$SEARCH1" 'BEGIN{print index(a,b)}'` " INDEX2="`awk -v a="$line" -v b="$SEARCH2" 'BEGIN{print index(a,b)}'` " if [ INDEX1 -ne 0 ] ; then EXTRACT1="`awk -v a="$line" 'BEGIN{print substr(a,11)}'`" #extract from line startting from 11th char(leaving interface) upto end EXTRACT2="`awk -v a="$var" 'BEGIN{print substr(a,11)}'`" Jain Sahab
