Inserting Characters

To insert a character between characters that are already typed, use the Left and Right Arrow keys to place the cursor into position, then type the new character. Once the syntax is correct, execute the command by pressing Enter. In the following example, the user enters the wrong syntax to execute a command. The result is an error message.

-> show micrcode

^

ERROR: Invalid entry: "micrcode"

To correct the syntax without retyping the entire command line, use the !! command to recall the previous syntax. Then, use the Left Arrow key to position the cursor between the “r” and the “c” characters. To insert the missing character for this example, type “o” as shown:

-> !!

-> show microcode

Previous Command Recall

To recall the last command executed by the switch, press the Up Arrow key at the prompt and the previous command will display on your screen. You can execute the command again by pressing Enter or you can edit it first by deleting or insert- ing characters.

Prefix Recognition

Prefix recognition is a CLI feature that reduces redundant command line entry by storing commonly-used prefix infor- mation for certain commands. The CLI assumes this stored prefix information when the next command is entered. For example, if you enter

-> vlan 32

at the command line, the CLI will store the vlan 32 prefix information.

The following command families support prefix recognition:

•AAA

•Interface

•Link Aggregation

•Quality of Service (QoS)

•Spanning Tree

•VLAN Management
