Auto-complete commands and parameters
When entering a command and parameter, press the
Tab
key to cause the command line interface to
auto-complete as much of the command and parameter as possible. Typing the space bar has similar
behavior. If multiple commands are available that will match the entered text, auto-complete is not
performed and the available commands are displayed instead.
Auto-complete applies to these command elements only :
n
Command names. For example, typing
net<Tab>
auto-completes the command as
network
.
n
Parameter names. For example:
l
ping
hostname
int<Tab>
auto-completes the parameter as
interface
.
l
system b<Tab>
auto-completes the parameter as
backup
.
n
Parameter values, where the value is one of an enumeration or an on|off type; for example:
(config)> serial port1 enable t
<Tab>
auto-completes to
(config)> serial port1 enable true
Auto-complete does not function for:
n
Parameter values that are string types.
n
Integer values.
n
File names.
n
Select parameters passed to commands that perform an action.
