show parser dump - full CLI syntax at your hands

To display the CLI syntax options for all command modes or for a specified command mode, you can use the show parser dump command in privileged EXEC mode.

This command was developed to allow the exploration of the CLI command syntax without requiring the user to actually enter a specific mode and use the ? command line help.

Examples:

The following command will display all the commands that can by entered under "map-class" config mode and contain the "frame-relay" word:

router#show parser dump map-class | inc frame-relay

The following command will display all the commands that can be entered under the "route-map" config mode and contain the "match" word:

router#show parser dump route-map | inc match

The following will display all commands (config & exec) that contain the word "igmp" :

router#show parser dump all | inc igmp

So, if you don't remember a specific command, but you know a keyword that might be included in it, you can use the "show parser dump" commands to help you find all possible syntaxes.

The number that you seen in front of each command syntax is the privilege level required in order to execute that command.

You can also use the "extend" keyword at the end in order to display more detailed keyword and argument descriptions:

router#sh parser dump sla-monitor extend
Mode Name :sla-monitor
15 type udpEcho dest-ipaddr  dest-port <1-65535> source-ipaddr
type : Type of entry
udpEcho : UDP Echo Operation
dest-ipaddr : Destination address
: IP address or hostname
dest-port : Destination Port
<1-65535> : Port Number
source-ipaddr : Source address
: IP address or hostname

15 type udpEcho dest-ipaddr  dest-port <1-65535> source-port <1-65535>
type : Type of entry
udpEcho : UDP Echo Operation
dest-ipaddr : Destination address
: IP address or hostname
dest-port : Destination Port
<1-65535> : Port Number
source-port : Source Port
<1-65535> : Port Number

Caution
Use caution when entering this command with the all keyword. A large amount of output can be generated by this command, which may easily exceed buffer or system memory on smaller platforms. Also, some configuration modes have hundreds of valid commands. For large dumps, use of the redirection to a file using the | redirect URL syntax at the end of the command is highly recommended.
