Figure 3-3 shows how to change the command mode from CONFIGURATION mode to INTERFACE
configuration mode.
Figure 3-3. Changing CLI Modes
do Command
Enter an EXEC mode or EXEC privilege mode command from any CONFIGURATION mode (such as
CONFIGURATION, INTERFACE, etc.) without returning to EXEC mode by preceding the EXEC mode
command with the command
do. Figure 3-4 illustrates the do command.
Figure 3-4. Using the do Command
Undoing Commands
When you enter a command, the command line is added to the running configuration file. Disable a
command and remove it from the running-config by entering the original command preceded by the
command
no. For example, to delete an ip address configured on an interface, use the no ip-address
ip-address
command, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Note: The following commands cannot be modified by the do command: enable, disable, exit, and configure.
Note: Use the help or ? command as described in Obtaining Help to help you construct the no form of a
command.
