If you enter a command incorrectly, a message is displayed indicating the type of error that occurred. For
example, typing a nonexistent command gives the following message:
fiberdriver# pn
% Unknown command 'pn'
fiberdriver#
If the command exists but the number of parameters is incorrect, the following message is displayed:
fiberdriver# ping
% Command incomplete.
fiberdriver#
Use the '?' command (entered alone on the command line) to display a list of available commands.
To see current state of the chassis, slot, and port, use the
show
command. To make changes to the
configuration, enter the configuration context by typing "configure terminal".
After entering a command, there may be a delay of several seconds before the action displays
in the "
show
" command.
5.4.2.1. Command Truncation
As with many operating environments, the CLI recognizes partial commands and arguments if enough of
the character string is typed to make the word unique.
For example,
show version
may be shortened to
sho ver
.
If the truncated entry is not unique or does not match any valid CLI command string, an appropriate
message is displayed.
5.4.2.2. Command History
A history of commands is maintained for each CLI login session. The "up-arrow" key moves backwards
through the list from the most recent commands to the more distant ones. The "down-arrow" key moves
forward through the list towards the most recent. A recovered command may be edited when it is visible
on the command line.
The
show history
command displays the entire saved history of commands.
