Responding to Prompts

For some actions, the system prompts you for a response. The acceptable default responses are the following:

• You can press y or Enter to agree with the prompt and continue.
• You can press any other key to disagree with the prompt and cancel the action.

You can use the confirmations explicit command to require a more explicit response to CLI prompts.

confirmations explicit

• Use to require an explicit response to a CLI prompt, as follows:
  • To agree with the prompt and continue, you must type y and press Enter, type ye and press Enter, or type yes and press Enter.
  • To disagree with the prompt and cancel the action, you must type n and press Enter or type no and press Enter.
  • Pressing Enter alone, or entering any other characters, is not an acceptable response, and the CLI will repeat the prompt.
  • Acceptable responses to a prompt are not case sensitive.
  • Use the no version to restore the default state, where pressing y or Enter alone responds in the affirmative, and any other entry is accepted as a negative response.

    Note: The system’s CLI supports a powerful command-line editor, enabling you to easily correct, edit, and recall previously entered commands. For more information, see Using Command-Line Editing. For a description of the commands that you use to get around the CLI, see Managing the System .
