Navigation commands
There are several commands that are useful in moving from one part of the menu tree to
another. The commands are similar to those used in a UNIX® shell:
cd
This command moves you to a given spot in the menu tree. Entering
cd /
always takes you back to the main menu.
pwd
This command displays the current menu path where you are in the
menu tree.
up
This takes you back to the last menu that you touched.
..
or
cd ..
Both of these commands take you up one level in the menu tree.
pushd
and
popd
These commands allow you to manage a stack of menus that you visit
frequently.
history
This command displays the last several commands that you entered.
You can reuse these commands by typing an exclamation point (
!
)
followed by the number of the command as displayed.
quit
or
exit
Both of these commands terminates your session.
Configuration control commands
These commands control the effectiveness of changes to the switch configuration. The
general rubric for configuring the switch is EASY:
E for editing the configuration, typing in your changes
A for the
apply
command which makes the changes part of the running configuration
S for the
save
command which writes the changed configuration to flash memory
Y for yes, which is the answer to the prompt to be sure that you really want to update flash
Additional configuration control commands include the following:
diff
This command displays the differences between the most recent edits
and the running configuration.
diff flash
This command displays the differences between the running
configuration and its flash copy.
revert
This command discards all changes which have not yet been applied.
revert apply
This command discards applied changes which have not yet been
saved to flash.

to the specified IP address.
