1.3 Abbreviating Commands
To abbreviate a command, simply enter part of the command keyword, but this part should
uniquely identify the command keyword.
For example, show configuration can be abbreviated to:
DGS-3610# show conf
1.4 Using no and default Options
Almost all commands have the no option. Generally, the no option is used to prohibit a
feature or function or to perform a reversed action of the command. For example, the
interface configuration command no shutdown can be executed the reversed operation for
disabling the interface command shutdown, that is to enable the interface. Use the keyword
without no option to ebable the features enabled or to enable the features disabled by
default.
Most configuration commands have the default option, which restores the configuration as
default value of the command. Most commands are disabled by default; in this case, the
function of default and no options generally serve the same purpose. However, the default
value of part commands are enabled; in this case the default and no options serve the
reversed purposes. The default option is used to enable the command and set the variables
as enabled status as it is default.
