Using the Keyword no Command

To disable, delete or return to default values, use the no form of the commands.

For most commands, if you type the keyword no in front of the command, you disable that command or

delete it from the running configuration. In this guide, the no form of the command is described in the

Syntax portion of the command description. For example:

Syntax

no {boot | default | enable | ftp-server | hardware | hostname

broadcast storm-control | snmp-server | username}

Defaults None

Filtering show Commands

To find specific information, display certain information only or begin the command output at the first

instance of a regular expression or phrase, you can filter the display output of a show command.

When you execute a show command, and then enter a pipe ( | ), one of the following parameters, and a

regular expression, the resulting output either excludes or includes those parameters.

NOTE: The Dell Networking OS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after

the pipe, or any combination. For example: Dell#command | grep TenGig|except regular-

expression | find regular-expression.
