Cisco Shortcut Guide

Basic Tips

Do you want to bring up a previously entered command?

• Use the up arrow to bring up your last used commands and the down arrow to go back.

Do you want to go straight to the beginning of a command you're typing?

• Use the home key on your keyboard to bring your cursor to the beginning of the command you're typing. You can use the end key to go back to the end.

Do you want to get out of a long list without having to scroll through everything? (For example show run)

• Instead of hitting the space bar repeatedly just type the letter q

Are you in a config mode and wish to issue a show command?

• Just put the word do in front of your command

Router(config)#do show run
