do

Provides for the invoking of executive-mode commands from within any configuration-mode.

Syntax: do exec-cmd

exec-cmd

Specifies a legal executive-mode command to be invoked within this configuration-mode.

Description: With the exception of a small subset of commands, executive-mode commands can now be invoked within configuration modes. Both the do and run commands, entered within a configuration-mode, followed on the same command line by a legitimate executive-mode command will invoke the entered command as though it were entered from the executive-mode.

The following executive-mode commands are not allowed within configuration-mode: configure, copy, enable, disable, reload, failover, debug buba, debug squirt. All other executive-mode commands can be invoked within configuration-mode using either the do or run commands.

Use the do command to invoke a legal executive-mode command from within this configuration-mode

Factory Default: None.

Command Mode: Any configuration-mode.

Example 1: In the following example:

The source interface for syslog packets is set to loopback 24000.

The do show logging source-interface command invoked within the configuration-mode displays the new setting.

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#logging source-interface 1

router(config)#do show logging source-interface

Syslog source interface is loopback 1.

router(config)#

Example 2: In the following example, the ip ospf cost cost command configures the cost for interface POS 1/1/1 to 12, and the do show ip ospf interface pos 1/1/1 command displays the setting from within the interface configuration mode:

router(config)#router ospf 1

router(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

router(config-router)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#ip ospf cost 12

router(config-if)#do show ip ospf interface pos 1/1/1

Name: POS 1/1/1

Address: 201.1.1.10

Net type: PointToPoint

State: P To P

Area: 0.0.0.0

DR: 0.0.0.0

BDR: 0.0.0.0
