Release Notes

14 | The ArubaOS Command-Line Interface Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.x| Reference Guide
When typed at the end of a possible command or abbreviation, the question mark lists the commands that
match (if any). For example:
(host) > c?
clear Clear configuration
clock Configure the system clock
configure Configuration Commands
copy Copy Files
If more than one item is shown, type more of the keyword characters to distinguish your choice. However, if
only one item is listed, the keyword or abbreviation is valid and you can press tab or the spacebar to advance
to the next keyword.
When typed in place of a parameter, the question mark lists the available options. For example:
(host) # write ?
erase Erase and start from scratch
file Write to a file in the file system
memory Write to memory
terminal Write to terminal
<cr>
The <cr> indicates that the command can be entered without additional parameters. Any other parameters are
optional.
Command Completion
To make command input easier, you can usually abbreviate each key word in the command. You need type
only enough of each keyword to distinguish it from similar commands. For example:
(host) # configure terminal
could also be entered as:
(host) # con t
Three characters (con) represent the shortest abbreviation allowed for configure. Typing only c or co would
not work because there are other commands (like copy) which also begin with those letters. The configure
command is the only one that begins with con.
As you type, you can press the spacebar or tab to move to the next keyword. The system then attempts to
expand the abbreviation for you. If there is only one command keyword that matches the abbreviation, it is
filled in for you automatically. If the abbreviation is too vague (too few characters), the cursor does not
advance and you must type more characters or use the help feature to list the matching commands.
Deleting Configuration Settings
Use the no command to delete or negate previously-entered configurations or parameters.
l To view a list of no commands, type no at the enable or config prompt followed by the question mark. For
example:
(host) (config) # no?
l To delete a configuration, use the no form of a configuration command. For example, the following
command removes a configured user role:
(host) (config) # no user-role <name>
l To negate a specific configured parameter, use the no parameter within the command. For example, the
following commands delete the DSCP priority map for a priority map configuration:
(host) (config) # priority-map <name>
(host) (config-priority-map) # no dscp priority high
