Use the `show`` ``enable_match_recursive_only` command to view the status of the match-recursive-only option for all DNS views on a specific Grid member. For information about how to use the match-recursive-only feature, see [*set enable_match_recursive_only*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35761467)*,* and also refer to the *Infoblox* *NIOS* *Administrator* *Guide*.  
The `show`` ``enable_match_recursive_only` command reports one of three possible states:

- `True:` The DNS view is set to use the match-recursive-only setting to restrict and filter client access for the view.
- `False:` The DNS view does not use the match-recursive-only setting.
- `Inherit:` The default, where the DNS view inherits its match-recursive-only setting from the Grid.
