Specifying Ports in Interface Configuration Mode
To configure a port, you need to specify the interface type, slot, and port number by using the interface
configuration command. For example, to configure port 4 on a switch, you enter:
switch(config)# interface fa 0/4

Abbreviating Commands
You have to enter only enough characters for the switch to recognize the command as unique. This
example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command:
Switch# show conf
Using no and default Forms of Commands
Almost every configuration command also has a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature
or function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration
command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable
a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.
Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the
command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same
as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default
values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default
values.
