use grep to match multiple lines

Hi all

I have done this before but i cant really recall now

I have a text file and i want to grep the word "interface" and 10 lines following it. I think there was some switch like grep -A or something ?? anyone knows ?

Hi,

Yep, -A10

Code:

grep -A10 "interface" infile

Hope this helps.
