Completing a Partial Command Name
If you cannot remember a command name (or if you want to reduce the amount of typing you have
to perform), enter the first few letters of a command, then press the Tab key. The command line
parser completes the command if the string entered is unique to the command mode. If your
keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-L.
The CLI recognizes a command once you have entered enough characters to make the command
unique. If you enter “conf” within the privileged EXEC mode, the CLI associates the entry with the
configure command, since only the configure command begins with
conf
.
In the following example, the CLI recognizes a unique string in the privileged EXEC mode when the
Tab key is pressed:
rfs7000-37FABE# conf
rfs7000-37FABE# configure
When using the command completion feature, the CLI displays the full command name. The
command is not executed until the Return or Enter key is pressed. Modify the command if the full
command was not what you intended in the abbreviation. If entering a set of characters (indicating
more than one command), the system lists all commands beginning with that set of characters.
