Entering Commands
This section describes how to enter CLI commands.
Keywords and Arguments
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify
a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For
example, in the command “show interfaces status ethernet 1/5,”
show
interfaces
and
status
are keywords,
ethernet
is an argument that specifies
the interface type, and
1/5
specifies the unit/port.
You can enter commands as follows:
•
To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
•
To enter multiple commands, enter each command in the required
order. For example, to enable Privileged Exec command mode, and
display the startup configuration, enter:
Console>
enable
Console#
show startup-config
•
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required
parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a
password for the administrator, enter:
Console(config)#
username admin password 0 smith
Minimum Abbreviation
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely
identify a command. For example, the command “configure” can be
entered as
con
. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for
further input.
