8.1 Basic CLI Operations
In either mode, simply entering a configuration definition command does not modify
the configuration definition information on flash memory.
The save command must be executed to save a modified configuration definition to
ensure that the modified configuration definition is used the next time the device is
started.
8.1.5.1 Command input method and execution trigger
Uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or a combination of such characters must be used
to enter a command name.
Each command name or keyword can be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation does
not match the abbreviation of another command name or keyword. For example,
"show" can be abbreviated to "sh".
The applicable setting is modified when a command is entered in the CLI and the
[Enter] key is pressed. However, if this document clearly states a specific trigger for a
configuration definition command, device behavior is modified at the command-
specific trigger.
8.1.5.2 Help function
If the question mark or [?] key, is pressed during entry of a command name or
command parameter, a list of commands that begin with the entered string is
displayed.
*1 If the question mark (?) is entered without a space character during entry of a
command name or command parameter, a selection of commands is
displayed without explanations.
*2 In the displayed help information of a selection of commands, "WORD" is
displayed to indicate no selection of commands is available.
8.1.5.3 Tab-based complement function
If the [Tab] key is pressed during entry of a command, it adds the string that can be
concatenated with the entered string.
If the trailing string can be determined uniquely, the string is added to the entered
string.
If the trailing string cannot be determined uniquely, the string up to the common part
is added to the entered string.
