Each command mode will certainly limit you to use a certain command subset. If you have trouble in inputting a command, check
the interface prompt and input the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong command mode or
using incorrect syntax.
In the following example, please pay attention to the change of the window prompt and its new command mode:
Switch> enter
Password: <enter password>
Switch# config
Switch_config# interface g0/1
Switch_config_g0/1# quit
Switch_config# quit
Switch#
1.5 Canceling the Command
If you want to cancel a command or resume the default attributes, usually add the “no” keyword before most commands.
For example, no ip address.
1.6 Saving the Settings
You may need to save the configuration changes, so that you can recover the original configuration in case of system restarted or
power cuts. You can use write command to save configuration in the Administration Mode or Global Configuration Mode.
