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.
