Undoing Commands
When you enter a command, the command line is added to the running conguration le (running-cong).
To disable a command and remove it from the running-cong, enter the no command, then the original command. For example, to delete
an IP address congured on an interface, use the
no ip address ip-address command.
NOTE
: Use the help or ? command as described in Obtaining Help.
