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.

Obtaining Help
Obtain a list of keywords and a brief functional description of those keywords at any CLI mode using the ? or help command:
To list the keywords available in the current mode, enter ? at the prompt or after a keyword.
Enter ? after a command prompt to list all of the available keywords. The output of this command is the same as the help command.
DellEMC#?
bmp BMP commands

Enter ? after a partial keyword lists all of the keywords that begin with the specied letters.
DellEMC(conf)#cl?
class-map
clock
DellEMC(conf)#cl
Enter [space]? after a keyword lists all of the keywords that can follow the specied keyword.
DellEMC(conf)#clock ?

Entering and Editing Commands
Notes for entering commands.
The CLI is not case-sensitive.
You can enter partial CLI keywords.
Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command. For example, you cannot enter cl as a partial keyword
because both the clock and class-map commands begin with the letters “cl.” You can enter clo, however, as a partial keyword
because only one command begins with those three letters.
