General navigation commands

When you enter "?" at any point in the CLI session, the system retrieves help information for whatever portion of the command you entered thus far. See "help command" (page 89) for more information.

The system records the last command in a CLI session. However, the last command is not saved across reboots.

Add the word no to the beginning of most CLI configuration commands to clear or remove the parameters of the actual command. For example, when you enter the command ip address 192.32.154.126, you set the IP address. However, when you enter no ip address, the system returns the IP address to zero. See Appendix "Command List" (page 353) for an alphabetical list of no commands.

Add the word default to the beginning of most CLI configuration commands to set the parameters of the command to the factory default values. See Appendix "Command List" (page 353) for an alphabetical list of default commands.

When you enter a portion of the command and press the [Tab] key, the system finds the first unambiguous match of a command and displays that command. For example, if you enter down+[Tab], the system displays

download.
