Commands sometimes have parameters that determine how they’re
saved and when they’re implemented. Some are changed in
• the running database so that the new value is used immediately
(the run option).
• the NVRAM so that the changes are saved and occur only in the
next session (the nvram option).
• both the running and the NVRAM databases (the all option).
To get an explanation of a command’s parameters, add a question
mark (?) after the command name:
SYS_console> set-lt-age ?
set-lt-age sets the LT aging period
[arg #0] database type - either {run|nvram|all}
[arg #1] aging time in seconds
The Console Manager provides a history of the last several
commands. To obtain the last command in the command history,
press ! or
cP at the prompt.
To correct a command line, use the following special keys (see the
help-kbd command):
• ! or cP - for the previous command
• cW - to delete the previous word
• cU - to delete the entire line
When you type a command that results in more than one screen of
text appearing, you can press Q to stop the process or any other key
to continue to the next screen.
Finally, you can press T to see the list of commands that start
with the text already typed. For example:
SYS_console> get-c T
Commands matching <get-c>
