2.2.3 Command Completion
Entering part of a command or option and pressing the [Tab] key, causes the CLI to display the remaining command or option
characters.
xg# con<TAB>
↓
xg# configure _
For example, the only command that begins with "con" is "configure", so the CLI completes the command name as "configure".
Pressing the [Tab] key, causes the CLI to list all possible commands or option names.
xg# co<TAB>
configure copy
xg# co_
Since there are two commands that begin with "co" - "configure" and "copy" - the CLI lists both commands.
2.2.4 Command Abbreviation
Commands and options can be abbreviated to the minimum number of characters as long as command or option names are
unique and forward-match the entered letters.
xg# con t
For example, the "configure" command may be abbreviated to "con" because "configure" is the only command that begins with
"con", and "terminal" may be abbreviated to "t" because "terminal" is the only command that begins with "t".
2.2.5 Command-Line Error Messages
The table below shows error messages that appear when a command is incorrectly entered. The "configure terminal"
command is used as an example below:

displayed at the bottom of the screen and the CLI waits for a user entry.
