Enabling CLI Timestamping

To display a timestamp (date and time) for every command that is executed on the CLI, enter the following

command at the root prompt for the Exec mode:

timestamps

The date and time appear immediately after you execute the command.

Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.

Configuring CLI Confirmation Prompts

A number of Exec mode and Global Configuration mode commands prompt users for a confirmation (Are

you sure? [Yes|No]:) prior to executing the command.

This section describes configuration settings that:

•

Automatically confirm commands for the current CLI session (Exec mode) or for all CLI sessions and

users (Global Configuration mode).

•

Requires confirmation prompting only for the Exec mode configure command and autoconfirm

command.

•

Selectively requires confirmation of Exec mode configuration commands.

Enabling Automatic Confirmation

You can use the autoconfirm command to disable confirmation prompting for configuration commands. The

autoconfirm command is available in the Exec mode and Global Configuration mode. Enabling the autoconfirm

feature automatically supplies a "Yes" response to configuration command prompts, including for critical

commands such as reload and shutdown. By default autoconfirm is disabled.

In the Exec mode, autoconfirm applies only to the current interactive CLI session.

In the Global Configuration mode, autoconfirm applies to all CLI sessions for all CLI users:

configure

autoconfirm

end

To disable autoconfirm once it has been enabled, use the no autoconfirm command.

If commandguard is enabled, autoconfirm will disable commandguard.Important

Autoconfirm is intended as an "ease-of-use" feature. It presumes that the answer to "Are you sure? [Y/N]"

prompts will be "Yes", and skips the prompt. Its use implies that the user is an expert who does not need these

"safety-net" prompts.
