36 CHAPTER 2: ABOUT THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
■Command Mode Help — To view all commands available in the
current mode with associated descriptions, type help. To show a list of
available commands without descriptions, type ? at the prompt or
press the Tab key twice.
■Configurable Prompt — By default, the prompt displays both the
address assigned to the management module and the current command
mode. You can configure the prompt so it does not display this
information. When the address and mode is displayed in the prompt, you
can issue set prompt to remove it. To configure the prompt to display
address and mode information, issue set prompt mode. For example:
cli:172.16.19.10:root# set prompt
cli#
cli# set prompt mode
cli:172.16.19.10:root#
■Command Completion — The system does not require that you type
the entire command string. You simply need to type enough of the string
to make it unique among the available commands so the system can
recognize it. Once you type enough of the command string to dist inguish
it among other commands, simply press [Tab] to complete the
command, or press [Enter] to execute it.
For most commands within the CLI, hyphens are placed between nouns,
(such as cpe-control), while no hyphen is placed between verbs and nouns
(such as no shutdown and show ip). Also note that commands and their
associated arguments are case-sensitive.
