key to display one more line, or the [a] key to display the rest of the information without stopping.
You can press any other key to terminate the display.
Partial Keyword Lookup
If you terminate a partial keyword with a question mark, alternatives that match the initial letters
are provided. (Remember not to leave a space between the command and question mark.) For
example “s?” shows all the keywords starting with “s.”
Console#show s?
sflow snmp sntp spanning-tree ssh
startup-config subnet-vlan system
Console#show s
Negating the Effect of Commands
For many configuration commands you can enter the prefix keyword “no” to cancel the effect of a
command or reset the configuration to the default value. For example, the logging command will
log system messages to a host server. To disable logging, specify the no logging command. This
guide describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.
Using Command History
The CLI maintains a history of commands that have been entered. You can scroll back through the
history of commands by pressing the up arrow key. Any command displayed in the history list can
be executed again, or first modified and then executed.
Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently executed commands.
