Timesaver Each command mode restricts you to a subset of commands. If you are having trouble entering a
command, check the prompt, and enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might
be in the wrong command mode or using the wrong syntax.
In the following example, notice how the prompt changes after each command to indicate a new
command mode:
VG> enable
Password: <enable password>
VG# configure terminal
VG(config)# interface serial 0/0
VG(config-if)# line 0
VG(config)# exit
VG#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
The last message is normal and does not indicate an error. Press Return to get the VG# prompt.
Note You can press Ctrl-Z in any mode to immediately return to enable mode (VG#), instead of entering exit,
which returns you to the previous mode.
Undoing a Command or Feature
If you want to undo a command you entered or disable a feature, enter the keyword no before most
commands; for example, no ip routing.
