See Table 1-4 for an explanation of the command syntax conventions.
Table 1-4. Command Syntax Conventions
No Form Commands
Most CLI commands have a no form. In general, the no form disables a
feature/function or restores a default for Layer 3 commands. Clear disables
the Layer 2 set commands. The Description section of each command
describes the no or clear form (if applicable to the command).
Command Line History Keys
The history buffer stores the last 20 commands you have entered. Use these
key sequences to recall commands from the history buffer.
