Some commands have parameters that determine how settings are
saved and when they’re implemented. Some are changed in

•

the running configuration so that the new value is used
immediately (the 

run

 option).

•

the NVRAM so that the changes are saved and occur only in the
next session (the 

nvram

 option).

•

both the running and the NVRAM configuration (the 

all

 option).

For an explanation of a command’s parameters, add a question mark
(?) after the command name:

SYS_console> set-lt-age ?

set-lt-age     sets the LT aging period

   [arg #0]  database type - either {run|nvram|all}

   [arg #1]  aging time in seconds

The Console Manager provides a history of the last several commands
you entered. To cycle through them, press 

! or cP at the prompt.

To correct a command line, use the following special keys (see the

help-kbd

 command):

•

! or cP  for the previous command

•

cW

 to delete the previous word

•

cU

 to delete the entire line

When you type a command that results in more than one screen of
text appearing, you can press 

Q to stop the process or any other key

to continue to the next screen.

You can press 

T to see the list of commands that start with the

text already typed. For example:

SYS_console> get-c 

               Commands matching <get-c>

get-comm        show current read or/and write community

get-con-matrix  displays the VLAN connectivity matrix

get-colls-cnt   gets the collision distribution counters per port
