Chapter 6 Using the Command-Line Interface
Understanding CLI Messages
Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the
command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same
as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default
values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default
values.
Understanding CLI Messages
Table 6-3 lists some error messages that you might encounter while using the CLI to configure your
access point/bridge.
Using Command History
Cisco IOS software 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. You can
customize the command history feature to suit your needs as described in these sections:
• Changing the Command History Buffer Size, page 6-7
• Recalling Commands, page 6-7
• Disabling the Command History Feature, page 6-7
