Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 7800 Command Line ? Help, Partial Keyword Completion

Page 36

Command Line (?) Help

The CLI provides additional help in the form of the question mark (?) character. The ? character provides information that helps you build your command syntax. For example, if you enter

-> show vlan router

at the command line and are unsure of the next keyword, you can enter the ? character for additional options (be sure to include a space between the last keyword and the ? character):

-> show vlan router ?

^

MAC IP

(Vlan Manager Command Set)

The carat character (^) indicates the point where you invoked the command line help. Possible keyword options, along with the corresponding command set, are displayed. Here, you can continue building the command by entering either mac or ip.

Some command completion options may indicate user-defined information. For example: <string>, <slot/port>, <hh:mm:ss>, etc. The option <cr> indicates that the command can be completed by pressing Enter.

Note. The ? character can be entered at any time. In addi- tion, you can type the ? character alone at the CLI prompt to display root keywords for all command sets.

Partial Keyword Completion

The CLI has a partial keyword recognition feature. Instead of typing an entire keyword, you can type only the minimum number of characters needed to uniquely identify the keyword, then press the Tab key. The CLI will complete the keyword and place the cursor at the end of the command line.

If you do not enter enough characters to uniquely identify the keyword, pressing the Tab key will have no effect.

If you enter characters that do not belong to an applicable keyword, pressing the Tab key will remove the characters and place the cursor back to its previous position.

Deleting Characters

You can delete CLI command characters by using the Back- space key or the Delete key. The Backspace key deletes each character in the line, one at a time, from right to left.

To change incorrect syntax with the Delete key, use the Left Arrow key to move the cursor to the left of the character to be deleted, then use the Delete key to remove characters to the right of the cursor.
