1.1.3 Abbreviating Commands

You can abbreviate commands and keywords to the number of characters

that allow a unique abbreviation. For example, you can abbreviate the show

command to sh or the show running-config command to sh ru.

1.1.4 Using the No and Default Forms of Commands

Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, use the no form

to

Disable a feature or function.

Reset a command to its default values.

Reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown

command reverses the shutdown of an interface.

Use the command without the no form to reenable a disabled feature or to

reverse the action of a no command.
Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a

command returns the command setting to its default.

1.1.5 Redisplaying a Command

To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the up-arrow key. You

can continue to press the up-arrow key for more commands.

1.1.6 Getting Help

Entering a question mark (?) at the system prompt displays a list of commands

for each command mode. You can also get a list of any command’s associated

keywords and arguments with the context-sensitive help feature.
The following are the commands to get help specific to a command mode, a

command, a keyword, or an argument:

help—Obtain a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

ASUS> help

abbreviated-command-entry

?—Obtain a list of commands that begin with a

particular character string.

ASUS> sh?

ASUS> show Show running system information

abbreviated-command-entry

<Tab>—Complete a partial command name.
