How do I remove "ip cef accounting non-recursive load-balance-hash" from the config. I'd like to leave the box as I found it. Is it to do with an authority level or something more?

Thanks

trying

"no ip cef" - then turn it back on with "ip cef"

OK, thanks for this. TBH it looks a tad brutal as there are lots of itterations of " ip cef accounting non-recursive external" on the box which may need to be reapplied. I'm also concerned that the "no ip cef" will result in traffic disruption.

I'll see how it goes and feed back.

Apologies. f/up to my own post; It turned out to be an access level issue rather than an issue with IOS.

I was even unable to do "no ip cef" with a 'command authorization failed' but a colleague with the appropriate level of access was able to remove the original command with a simple "no" prefix.

thank you for your attention.
