Partial Keyword Lookup; Negating The Effect Of Commands; Using Command History; Understanding Command Modes - Foundry Networks IronPoint 200 User Manual

Foundry IronPoint 200 User Guide
The command "show interface ?" will display the following information:
Foundry AP#show interface ?
ethernet Show Ethernet interface
wireless Show wireless interface
<cr>
Foundry AP#show interface

Partial Keyword Lookup

If you terminate a partial keyword with a question mark, alternatives that match the initial letters are
provided. (Remember not to leave a space between the command and question mark.) For example
"s?" shows all the keywords starting with "s."
Foundry AP#show s?
snmp sntp
Foundry AP#show s

Negating the Effect of Commands

For many configuration commands you can enter the prefix keyword "no" to cancel the effect of a
command or reset the configuration to the default value. For example, the logging command will log
system messages to a host server. To disable logging, specify the no logging command. This guide
describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.

Using Command History

The CLI maintains a history of commands that have been entered. You can scroll back through the
history of commands by pressing the up arrow key. Any command displayed in the history list can be
executed again, or first modified and then executed.
Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently executed commands.

Understanding Command Modes

The command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec commands generally display
information on system status or clear statistical counters. Configuration commands, on the other
hand, modify interface parameters or enable certain functions. These classes are further divided into
different modes. Available commands depend on the selected mode. You can always enter a
question mark "?" at the prompt to display a list of the commands available for the current mode. The
command classes and associated modes are displayed in the following table:
Class
Exec
Configuration
4-4
station system
Mode
Privileged
Global
Interface-ethernet
Interface-wireless
interface-wireless-VAP
