Chapter 2 Configuring General Switch Features
Entering Commands at the Switch Prompt
The default switch configuration allows you to enter command abbreviations on PXM cards and most
service modules. Because the help command is the only command that begins with he, you can use the
abbreviated he command to display help. The following example demonstrates that the switch
recognizes your partial entry of the help command because it proceeds to list commands.

Note
The command abbreviation feature is not supported on older cards such as AUSM, CESM, and FRSM.
Tip
To disable the command abbreviation feature, enter the cnfcmdabbr command. To display the current
setting for this option, enter the dspcmdabbr command.
Notice the last line of the help command display. Because the help display is too long to appear on one
screen, it is displayed in pages. Press Return to display the next page, or type q and press Return to
cancel the help display.
The following example demonstrates what can appear when a command abbreviation is entered and
either the abbreviation is not unique or the card does not support abbreviations:
