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.

Command Completion

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
“logging history” example, typing log followed by a tab will result in
printing the command up to “logging.”

Getting Help on Commands

You can display a brief description of the help system by entering the help
command. You can also display command syntax by using the “?”
character to list keywords or parameters.
