Chapter 6 Using the Command-Line Interface
Getting Help
Getting Help
You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each
command mode. You can also obtain a list of associated keywords and arguments for any command, as
shown in Table 6-2.
Abbreviating Commands
You have to enter only enough characters for the access point/bridge to recognize the command as
unique. This example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command:
br# show conf
Using no and default Forms of Commands
Most configuration commands also have a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or
function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration
command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable
a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.
