+The same command could be parsed into a hash by using the key and values

+Another common use case for parsing CLI commands is to break a large command 
+into blocks that can parsed.  This can be done using the ``start_block`` and
+``end_block`` directives to break the command into blocks that can be parsed.::
+
+    ---
+    vars:
+      interface:
+        name: "{{ item[0].match[0] }}"
+        state: "{{ item[1].state }}"
+        mode: "{{ item[2].match[0] }}"
+
+    keys:
+      interfaces:
+        value: "{{ interface }}"
+        start_block: "^Ethernet.*$"
+        end_block: "^$"
+        items:
+          - "^(?P<name>Ethernet\\d\\/\\d*)"
+          - "admin state is (?P<state>.+),"
+          - "Port mode is (.+)"
+
+
+The example above will parse the output of ``show interface`` into a list of
+hashes.

 The network filters also support parsing the output of a CLI command using the
 TextFSM library.  To parse the CLI output with TextFSM use the following
