Hi Everyone,
I've been reading through the feedback posted by others, and I noticed many of us share similar experiences. As a student learning about Cisco Initial Configuration, I've encountered a recurring issue. When typing commands, especially as a beginner, it's easy to make mistakes, such as typing the wrong command or missing a character. Pressing enter starts a domain lookup, which can be frustrating.
Although I find this feature somewhat annoying, I believe it might have its uses, even if I'm not entirely sure what they are due to my limited experience. Instead of entirely disabling domain lookups, I suggest implementing a way to abort the translation process. In a Linux terminal, you can terminate a process by pressing CTRL+C. Similarly, in Cisco Packet Tracer, we can use the shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + 6 to stop the domain lookup process. Now, obviously, your query is not about the Cisco Packet Tracer; I believe it's about the Cisco Router Device. But I think this command is also usable in these Live Cisco Routers.
This solution seems practical and allows us to keep the domain lookup feature in case it's needed later. I realize my experience is limited compared to others, particularly the Cisco employees who have answered. However, I believe this compromise could be beneficial for many users.
In summary, instead of completely disabling the domain lookup, we could use the Ctrl + Shift + 6 shortcut to abort the process if an unintended command is entered. I hope this suggestion is helpful, and I appreciate any feedback or additional insights from more experienced users.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Thank You!
