run and do Commands

You can run Exec mode commands while in any configuration mode by preceding the command with the keyword run or do. For example:

host1(config)#run show users

Note: The run and do commands are interchangeable.

By using the run or do command in this way, you can obtain show command information without leaving configuration mode.

The only commands that cannot be preceded by run or do are the configure command and those commands that are already available in all modes, such as sleep or exit.

Example 1

host1(config)#run show config | begin interface
