Is it really so hard for Cisco to put a logic in the list of available configuration commands?
This is what you get if you enter "?" under a BVI in an ASR9k running IOS-XR 4.0.1.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9k1(config-if)#? address-family AFI/SAFI configuration arp Configure Address Resolution Protocol bandwidth Set the bandwidth of an interface clear Clear the uncommitted configuration commit Commit the configuration changes to running crypto Set crypto parameters dampening configure state dampening on the given interface describe Describe a command without taking real actions description Set description for this interface do Run an exec command exit Exit from this submode frame-relay Frame Relay interface configuration commands ipv4 IPv4 interface subcommands load-interval Specify interval for load calculation for an interface local-proxy-arp Enable local proxy ARP logging Per-interface logging configuration mac-address Set the Mac address(xxxx.xxxx.xxxx) on an interface maintenance Configure maintenance embargo flag on the given interface mtu Set the MTU on an interface no Negate a command or set its defaults proxy-arp Enable proxy ARP pwd Commands used to reach current submode root Exit to the global configuration mode service-policy Configure a service policy show Show contents of configuration shutdown shutdown the given interface vrf Set VRF in which the interface operates
I thought IOS-XR would improve such simple things, especially as now it has become mature.
Wouldn't it be better to have some of the commands that are not applicable to interface configuration under a different paragraph, like below?
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9k1(config-if)#? address-family AFI/SAFI configuration arp Configure Address Resolution Protocol bandwidth Set the bandwidth of an interface crypto Set crypto parameters dampening configure state dampening on the given interface description Set description for this interface frame-relay Frame Relay interface configuration commands ipv4 IPv4 interface subcommands load-interval Specify interval for load calculation for an interface local-proxy-arp Enable local proxy ARP logging Per-interface logging configuration mac-address Set the Mac address(xxxx.xxxx.xxxx) on an interface maintenance Configure maintenance embargo flag on the given interface mtu Set the MTU on an interface no Negate a command or set its defaults proxy-arp Enable proxy ARP service-policy Configure a service policy shutdown shutdown the given interface vrf Set VRF in which the interface operates --------------------------------------------------------- clear Clear the uncommitted configuration commit Commit the configuration changes to running describe Describe a command without taking real actions do Run an exec command exit Exit from this submode pwd Commands used to reach current submode root Exit to the global configuration mode show Show contents of configuration
Just wondering....
Notes
NX-OS has already solved that problem.
