Parameters
key-string: Specifies the shortcut key. It can be a character, or an ASCII code value in the range of 0
to 127. For example, escape-key 65 defines the shortcut key A. If you configure escape-key a, the
shortcut key is a.
default: Restores the default escape key sequence Ctrl+C.
Usage guidelines
Some commands might take a long time to complete in certain situations. Examples include:
A ping command that has 1000 packets to send.
•
• A tracert command that is used for an unreachable destination.
To stop a command, press the shortcut key for terminating tasks.
Whether a command can be terminated by Ctrl+C by default depends on the software
implementation of the command. For more information, see the description of the command.
As a best practice, use a key sequence as the shortcut key. If you define a single character as the
shortcut key, pressing the key while a command is being executed stops the command. If no
command is being executed, the result depends on the following situations:
•
If you are managing the local device, pressing the key enters the character as a common
character.
•
If you Telnet to another device and manage the remote device, pressing the key does nothing.
