2.2.1.3 Command name autocomplete function
The command name autocomplete function allows you to display a list of command names without entering anything by
pressing the TAB key or CTRL + I. In addition, if you press the TAB key or CTRL + I after entering part of a command,
the command string will be automatically completed. Automatically completed character strings differ depending on
conditions.
The following table details autocomplete operations for entered characters.
When you use autocomplete without entering anything, a list of commands with the command-type lines shown below is
displayed.
• --Exec commands-
Operation commands and alias commands
• -- Exec commands (config mode)--
Operation commands and aliases for configuration mode
• --Config commands--
Configuration commands
• --Config commands (current directory)--
Configuration command arguments (when the configuration hierarchy function is enabled and you are not in the top
hierarchy)
The command name autocomplete function works differently according to the number of times you hit the TAB key or
CTRL + I.
The table below lists the autocomplete operation for each number of times the TAB key or CTRL + I are hit.
