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.
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 parameters listed below, and a regular
expression, the resulting output either excludes or includes those parameters.
NOTE: FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any combination. For
example: FTOS#command | grep gigabit |except regular-expression | find regular-
expression
display
displays additional configuration information
except
displays only the text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
find
searches for the first occurrence of a pattern
grep
