Searching for data at cli

RouterOS General
1

Hi guys,
REPOSTING this message here hoping for better results - originally created under scripting.

I just learned how to get to the cli of my MikroTik router and quickly realized this is a much better way to configure and search for settings. However the search feature with “where” is a bit of a challenge for me. As example I would like to search for all MAC addresses that begin with specific characters (specific OUI vendor).

ip arp print - shows all mac addresses and I have to manually sort through them.
Is there a way to use the “where” command or other optional command to show just specific mac vendor addresses or other data where I my not know the exact complete string?

ip arp print where=00:0C:
or another example
ip route print where=192.168

Thank you
Frank

also on natural language, where what???

= is not “contain”

I thought the optional cli command “where” would allow me to view just the data matching my specified values. Maybe the optional “where” cli command is incorrect, I am new to RouterOS.
Is what I am asking for possible? Is this possible with any commands?

Thank you
Frank

Like when you talk with someone, you must specify of what you mean…

/ip arp print where mac-address~"^00:0C:42"

^ = start with
