Setup Wizard; Terminal Command Buffer; Negating The Effect Of Commands - Dell PowerConnect 3524 Cli Reference Manual

When copying and pasting commands from a configuration file, make sure that the following conditions
exist:
• A device Configuration mode has been accessed.
• The commands contain no encrypted data, like encrypted passwords or keys. Encrypted data cannot be
copied and pasted into the device.

Setup Wizard

The CLI supports a Setup Wizard. This is an easy-to-use user interface which quickly guides the user in
setting up basic device information, so that the device can be easily managed from a Web Based Interface.
Refer to the Getting Started Guide and User Guide for more information on the Setup Wizard.

Terminal Command Buffer

Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally managed Command History
buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are maintained on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis. These
commands can be recalled, reviewed, modified, and reissued. This buffer is not preserved across device
resets.

By default, the history buffer system is enabled, but it can be disabled at any time. For information about
the command syntax to enable or disable the history buffer, see history.
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.
Description
Recalls commands in the history buffer, beginning with the most recent
command. Repeats the key sequence to recall successively older
commands.
Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling
commands with the up-arrow key. Repeating the key sequence will recall
successively more recent commands.
