auto-confirm
Syntax
auto-confirm
no auto-confirm
Description

) to all confirmation prompts, enabling commands to execute without waiting for user confirmation.
no
form of this command sets auto-confirmation to the default value disabled.
Command context
Manager (#
)
Authority
Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.
Usage
Some commands, such as
boot
command, prompt to confirm execution of the command or to save the current configuration. Typically, such commands display a confirmation message similar to the following:
Continue (y/n)?
This command is useful for automating switch configuration, but Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use the REST API instead of using CLI scripts to automate configuration operations.
When the switch reboots, auto-confirmation is set to the default (disabled).
Example
switch# auto-confirm
