The CLI supports basic TAB-completion, which can come in handy when you do
not know the exact command name, e.g., writing ”fi[TAB]” within the IP context

Example
example:/#> con
example:/config/#>

command is used. From Global Configuration context one can reach several spe-
cific configuration contexts, and the command to enter them is context specific,

vlan Manage VLAN settings for VLAN with given VID.
port Manage port settings for port with given PORT identifier.

When the user returns to Admin Exec context, the running-configuration of the
switch will be updated. To make the configuration changes permanent the running-
