easy way to remove lines of config

Hi,

I am a Cisco CCNP that is learing Extreme. On Cisco I can take any command and put “no” in front of it to completely delete it from the config file. I have found that “unconfigure” and “disable” accomplish the same thing on extreme. The issue is that it will not let me include the entire line. for example:

#does not work
unconfigure qosprofile QP1 minbw 0 maxbw 100 priority low ports 4

#works
unconfigure qosprofile

This is driving me crazy. I just need to write a script that removes some configuration on one of our existing switches to allow me to repurpose some of the ports. I don't want to test each command to see how much I can include of the comand to make the system happy.

Is there a universal “delete this line” command?

Edit,

It’s actually like this

#does not work
unconfigure qosprofile QP1 minbw 0 maxbw 100 priority low ports 4

#works
unconfigure qosprofile port 4

Sometimes also “unconfigure” won’t cut it and the opposite of

config this add that

becomes

config this delete that

Yeah it’s not exactly straightforward all the time 😄

Thanks for the answers!

I will submit a feature request as this seems like something that should be available.
