Using Wildcard Characters in Interface Names
You can use wildcard characters in the Junos OS operational commands to specify groups of interface names without having to type each name individually. Table 1 lists the available wildcard characters. You must enclose all wildcard characters except the asterisk (*) in quotation marks (“ ”).
Table 1: Wildcard Characters for Specifying Interface Names
Wildcard Character | Description |
|---|---|
* (asterisk) | Match any string of characters in that position in the interface name. For example, so* matches all SONET/SDH interfaces. |
"[character<character...>]" | Match one or more individual characters in that position in the interface name. For example, so-“[03]”* matches all SONET/SDH interfaces in slots 0 and 3. |
"[!character<character...>]" | Match all characters except the ones included in the brackets. For example, so-“[!03]”* matches all SONET/SDH interfaces except those in slots 0 and 3. |
"[character1-character2]" | Match a range of characters. For example, so-“[0-3]” * matches all SONET/SDH interfaces in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3. |
"[!character1-character2]" | Match all characters that are not in the specified range of characters. For example, so-”[!0-3]”* matches all SONET/SDH interfaces in slots 4, 5, 6, and 7. |
