Negating the Effect of Commands

For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword "no" can be entered to

cancel the effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default

value. This guide describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.

Command Completion

If the command entered is incomplete, invalid, or has missing or invalid

parameters, an appropriate error message is displayed.
To complete an incomplete command, press the <Tab> button. If the

characters already entered are not enough for the system to identify a single

matching command, press "?" to display the available commands matching

the characters already entered.
Incorrect or incomplete commands are automatically re-entered next to the

cursor. If a parameter must be added, the parameter can be added to the basic

command already displayed next to the cursor. The following example

indicates that the command interface requires a missing parameter.

(config)#interface

%missing mandatory parameter

(config)#interface

Keyboard Shortcuts

The CLI has a range of keyboard shortcuts to assist in entering the CLI

commands.
The following table describes these shortcuts:

Keyboard Key

Description

Up-arrow key

Recalls commands from the history buffer,

beginning with the most recent command. Repeat

the key sequence to recall successively older

commands.

Down-arrow key

Returns the most recent commands from the

history buffer after recalling commands with the up

arrow key. Repeating the key sequence will recall

successively more recent commands.
