Using the No Form of a Command
The no keyword is a specific form of an existing configuration command and does
not represent a new or distinct command. Almost every configuration command
has a no form. In general, use the no form of the command to reverse the action of
a command or reset it to the default value. Example:
#no shutdown
Reverses the shutdown command to bring up the interface.
{} curly braces {drop | forward}

appropriate value.
