Command Completion
The configuration console command line accepts abbreviated command input with a facility called
command completion. Command completion lets you enter a command and its parameters by typing
the minimum number of characters to uniquely identify the command or a parameter.
For example, to enter the SAVE command, you only need to type SA and press the space bar:
à
@
ð
8285
>
sa
The system automatically fills in the rest of the command:
à
@
ð
8285
>
save
To enter a parameter, such as COMMUNITY , with the SAVE command, you can type the first few letters (for
example, COMM ) and press the space bar:
à
@
ð
8285
>
save comm
The rest of the parameter is automatically entered:
à
@
ð
8285
>
save community
If you enter an insufficient number of letters (for example, only S or C ) for the system to determine the
command or parameter (for example, Set , Show , Save and so on), the word is not completed and you are
prompted to enter the rest of the command. The system also prompts you if you forget to enter a
mandatory parameter.
