Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S380 User Guide

The CLI keeps a history of all commands entered during a session. Use the Up and Down arrow keys on 
your keyboard, or the Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N key combinations to scroll through a running list of the 
recently-used commands.

The AsyncOS CLI supports command completion. You can enter the first few letters of some commands 
followed by the Tab key and the CLI completes the string. If the letters you entered are not unique among 
commands, the CLI “narrows” the set. For example:

Configuration changes do not take effect until you commit them. You can make configuration changes 
while web operations proceed as normal.

Issue the 

commit

 command at the command prompt.

Give the 

commit

 command the input required.

Receive confirmation of the 

commit

 procedure at the CLI.

Changes to configuration that have not been committed are recorded, but do not go into effect until you 
run the 

commit

 command. However, not all commands require the 

commit

 command to be run. Exiting 

the CLI session, system shutdown, reboot, failure, or issuing the 

clear

 command clears changes that 

have not yet been committed.

This section describes some basic commands you might use in a typical CLI session, such as committing 
and clearing changes. 

The 

commit

 command allows you to change configuration settings while other operations proceed 

normally. Changes are not actually committed until you receive confirmation and a timestamp. Exiting 
the CLI session, system shutdown, reboot, failure, or issuing the 

clear

 command clears changes that 

have not yet been committed.

example.com> set 

setgateway, setgoodtable, sethostname, settime, settz

example.com> seth 

(pressing the Tab again completes the entry with sethostname)
