Command completion

The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command
or option. As long as you enter enough characters of the command or option name to avoid
ambiguity with other commands or options, the CLI understands what you are typing.

Scroll control

By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the number of rows
in your terminal emulation window. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the
global CONFIG level but your terminal emulation window does not have enough rows to display
them all at once, the page mode stops the display and lists your choices for continuing the display.

Example

aaa

access-list

all-client

arp

banner

base-mac-addr

boot

some lines omitted for brevity...

default-vlan-id

enable

enable-acl-counter

end

exit

--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c

Press Ctrl-C cancel the display.

Line editing commands
