Asante Technologies IC36240 Using CLI Command History, Using the No and Default Forms of Commands

4.6 Using CLI Command History

The CLI user interface provides a history or record of commands that you have entered. This feature is particularly useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries, including access lists. To recall commands from the history buffer, use one of the following commands:

Keystrokes/Command	Purpose
Press Ctrl-Por the up arrow key	Recall commands in the history buffer, beginning with the most
	recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively
	older commands.
Press Ctrl-Nor the down arrow key	Return to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling
	commands with Ctrl-P or the up arrow key. Repeat the key
	sequence to recall successively more recent commands.
show history	While in EXEC mode, list the last several commands entered.

4.7 Using the No and Default Forms of Commands

Almost every Switch configuration command has an opposite no form that negates or reverses a command. In general, the no form is used to disable a function that has been enabled. To re-enable a disabled function, or to enable a function that is disabled by default, use the command without the no keyword. For example, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is enabled by default. Specify the command no arp to disable the ARP table; to re-enable the ARP table, use the arp command.
