Browse: Displaying the Formatted
Configuration
Use NCL’s Browse command to display all of the configuration screens
that the Configuration Editor presents, as if you had chosen the Browse
action for each screen. The configuration is displayed in its entirety on
the console screen, not divided into the same interactive screens as the
Configuration Editor. You remain in NCL; you do not actually go into the
Configuration Editor as selected from the Main menu. The output is
divided into screens to fit the console screen, with a prompt for
“—MORE—” at the end of each screen, as long as page mode is enabled
(as it is by default). Page mode and how to get “more” screens are
described on page 16-14.
(To output the configuration display to a printer or file instead of your
console screen, see the Print command on page 16-19.)

Config: Displaying the Unformatted
Configuration
Use NCL’s Config command to display the configuration as stored in
nonvolatile memory and read by the router whenever it is booted. This
configuration is an ASCII text file and contains all configuration
parameter settings. It is not formatted into menus and tables and labeled
with field names as presented by the Configuration Editor or by Quick
Configuration or by the Browse command. Its lines are arranged for
display on the screen.
Before using Config, make sure that page mode is enabled (as it is by
default) so that the configuration is displayed one screen at a time with
a prompt for “—MORE—”. Page mode and how to get “more” screens are
described on page 16-14.
(To output the display of the configuration file to a printer or file instead
of your console screen, see the Print command on page 16-19.)
