Undoing Commands
When you enter a command, the command line is added to the running configuration file. Disable a
command and remove it from the running-config by entering the original command preceded by the
command no. For example, to delete an ip address configured on an interface, use the no ip-address
ip-address command, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Note: Use the help or ? command as described in Obtaining Help to help you construct the no form of a
command.
