Chapter 12: Command Line Interface (CLI)
214
Navigation of the CLI
Before using the CLI, it is important to understand CLI navigation and
syntax. There are also some keystroke combinations that simplify CLI
use.
Completion of Commands
The CLI supports the completion of partially-entered commands. After
entering the first few characters of an entry, press the Tab key. If the
characters form a unique match, the CLI will complete the entry.
• If no match is found, the CLI displays the valid entries for that level.
• If multiple matches are found, the CLI displays all valid entries.
Enter additional text to make the entry unique and press the Tab key to
complete the entry.
CLI Syntax -Tips and Shortcuts
Tips
• Commands are listed in alphabetical order.
• Commands are not case sensitive.
• Parameter names are single word without underscore.
• Commands without arguments default to show current settings for
the command.
• Typing a question mark ( ? ) after a command produces help for that
command.
• A pipe symbol ( | ) indicates a choice within an optional or required
set of keywords or arguments.
Shortcuts
• Press the Up arrow key to display the last entry.
• Press Backspace to delete the last character typed.
• Press Ctrl + C to terminate a command or cancel a command if you
typed the wrong parameters.
• Press Enter to execute the command.
• Press Tab to complete a command. For example, Admin Port >
Conf. The system then displays the Admin Port > Config >
prompt.
