Displaying and Changing Configuration Information

The SSR provides many commands for displaying and changing configuration information. For example, the CLI allows for the “disabling” of a command in the active configuration. Use the negate command on a specific line of the active configuration to “disable” a feature or function which has been enabled. For example, Spanning Tree Protocol is disabled by default. If, after enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol on the SmartSwitch Router, you want to disable STP, you must specify the negate command with the line number in the active configuration that contains the stp enable command.

The table below shows some commands that are useful when configuring the SSR.
