Pretty close and that will work, but it there a way to limit it further by interface type such as serial interfaces only and their descriptions?

I got a little closer with

sh int | i Serial|Desc

but that shows desc from other interfaces without the interface heading.

try "show run | i interface Serial|desc"

That's pretty close too, but shows desc from other lines such as bgp neighbor desc and prefix-list desc.

Maybe it's not possible, but I will keep checking.

try this

show run | i interface Serial|^ desc

Note: there is a space between "^" and "desc"

Still get only the "interface Serial" lines but also get desc from other interfaces also.

Such as

interface Serial1/0/1:0

desc Company A

interface Serial1/0/2:0

desc Company B

interface Serial1/0/3:0

description Company C

description Ethernet Company D

description GigbitEthernet Company E

the pipe operator "|" is line by line based. So it can not tell whether "description" is for serial or not since this need interpret result of the previous line.

So, it think it might not work by only using "|".

Sorry, i am not aware of the other solution for you.

Closer than I was, thanks for the help.
