Negating The Effect Of Commands; Command Completion; Keyboard Shortcuts - Dell PowerConnect 3424 Cli Reference Manual

There is a standard default number of commands that are stored in the buffer. The standard
number of 10 commands can be increased to 216. By configuring 0, the effect is the same as
disabling the history buffer system. For information about the command syntax for configuring
the command history buffer, see history size.
To display the history buffer, see show history.

Negating the Effect of Commands

For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword no can be entered to cancel the effect of
a command or reset the configuration to the default value. This guide describes the negation
effect for all applicable commands.

Command Completion

An appropriate error message displays if the entered command is incomplete or invalid; or has
missing or invalid parameters. This assists in entering the correct command.
