do

Syntax

do <COMMAND>

Description

Executes a manager context (#) or operator context (>) command from a configuration (config) context.

Deprecated for use with show commands. You can execute show commands from a configuration context without using the do command.

Command context

A configuration context such as config or config-vlan-10

Parameters

<COMMAND>

Specifies the manager context (#) or the operator context (>) command to execute.

Authority

Usage

The do command is deprecated for use with show commands: Although this command is still available for use with the show command, it might be removed from a future release. You can execute show commands from a configuration context without using the do command.

Use the do command to execute commands such as clear, checkpoint, and auto-confirm while you are in a configuration context (such as config or config-vlan-10).

For a list of the commands you can use with the do command, from the global configuration context (config), enter do, followed by a space, and then press the tab key twice.

Examples

Clearing LLDP neighbors from the global configuration context:

switch(config)# clear lldp neighbors
% Unknown command
switch(config)# do clear lldp neighbors
switch(config)#
