Access to manager context commands from descendant contexts
The
do
command enables you to access commands from the manager context while you are in a child or descendent context, such as
config
or
config-if
.
For example, to execute the
clear
command from the
config
context, enter the following:
do clear
The
show
command can be executed from configuration contexts as well as the manager context, so using the
do
command with the
show
command is deprecated. Support for
do show
might be discontinued in a future software release.
