Navigating Through CLI Commands
Command Completion
In any command mode, you can begin a particular command sequence and immediately press the Tab
key to complete the rest of the command.
switch (config)# ro<Tab>
switch (config)# role <Tab>
switch (config)# role name
This form of help is called command completion, because it completes a word for you. If several options
are available for the typed letters, all options that match those letters are presented:
switch(config)# fc<Tab>
fcalias fcdomain fcs
fcanalyzer fcdroplatency fcns fctimer
fcc fcinterop fcroute
switch(config)# fcd<Tab>
fcdomain fcdroplatency
switch(config)# fcdo<Tab>
switch(config)# fcdomain
Using the no and Default Forms of Commands
You can issue the no form of any command to perform the following actions:
• Undo a wrongly issued command.
If you issue the zone member command, you can undo the results:
switch(config)# zone name test vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 12:12:12:12:12:12:12:12
switch(config-zone)# no member pwwn 12:12:12:12:12:12:12:12
WARNING: Zone is empty. Deleting zone test. Exit the submode.
switch(config-zone)#
• Delete a created facility
If you want to delete a zone that you created:
switch(config)# zone name test vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# exit
switch(config)# no zone name test vsan 1
switch(config)#
You cannot delete a zone facility called test while residing in it. You must first exit the zone submode
and return to configuration mode.
