RGUMENTS
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 ethernet,”
show
and
interfaces
are keywords, and ethernet is an argument that specifies the
interface type.
You can enter commands as follows:
◆
To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
◆
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required
parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a
password for the administrator, enter:
Enterprise AP(config)#username smith

BBREVIATION
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely identify
a command. For example, the command “configure” can be entered as
con

OMPLETION
If you terminate input with a Tab key, the CLI will print the remaining
characters of a partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. In the
“configure” example, typing
con
followed by a tab will result in printing the
command up to “
configure
.”
