Network OS CLI keyboard shortcuts
Table 1 lists Network OS CLI keyboard shortcuts. Keystroke keys are not case-sensitive.
NOTE
In privileged EXEC mode, use the show history command to list the commands most recently
entered. The switch retains the history of the last 1000 commands entered for the current session.
Using the do command as a shortcut
You can use the do command to save time when you are working in any configuration mode and
you want to run a command in privileged EXEC mode.
For example, if you are configuring LLDP and you want to execute a privileged EXEC mode
command, such as the dir command, you would first have to exit the LLDP configuration mode. By
using the do command with the dir command, you can ignore the need to change configuration
modes, as shown in the following example.
switch(conf-lldp)# do dir
