Mode of
Operation Usage
Interface Interface configuration commands
configuration modify the operation of an interface
such as an Ethernet, Token Ring, or
serial port. Many features are
enabled on a per-interface basis.
Interface configuration commands
always follow an interface global
configuration command, which
defines the interface type.
ROM monitor ROM monitor commands are used
to perform low-level diagnostics.
You can also use the ROM monitor
commands to recover from a system
failure and stop the boot process in a
specific operating environment.
1. You can modify the configuration register value using the config-reg configuration command. Refer to the Cisco IOS configuration
guide for more information.
Almost every configuration command also has a no form. In general, use the no form to
disable a feature or function. Use the command without the keyword no to reenable a
disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default. For example, IP routing
is enabled by default. To disable IP routing, enter the no ip routing command and enter
ip routing to reenable it. The Cisco IOS software command reference publication provides
the complete syntax for the configuration commands and describes what the no form of a
command does.
