Command Line Interface Shortcuts
The following shortcuts allow you to enter commands quickly and easily.
Command Stacking
As a shortcut, you can type multiple commands on a single line, separated by forward
slashes (
/
). You can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that
you want.
For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) Configuration Menu
from the
Main#
prompt is:
Main#
cfg/snmp/name
Command Abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which distinguish the
command from the others in the same menu or submenu.
For example, the command shown above could also be entered as:
Main#
c/sn/n
Tab Completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and pressing the
Tab
key, the
CLI will display all commands or options in that menu that begin with that letter. Entering
additional letters will further refine the list of commands or options displayed.
If only one command fits the input text when the
Tab
key is pressed, that command will be
supplied on the command line, waiting to be entered. If the
Tab
key is pressed without any
input on the command line, the currently active menu displays.
