Chapter 4: Using CCM Commands
Accessing the CLI
You may access the CLI in three ways: using the Telnet CLI, using the serial CLI or entering the CLI access character during a session to a serial device. When the CLI is accessed, its prompt appears (>), indicating you may type a command.
Entering Commands
At the command prompt, type a command and then press Return or Enter. When the key is pressed, the command line comprises all characters to the left of the cursor. The character at the cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor are ignored. The following table lists the line editing operations for VT100 compatible devices.
Line Editing Operations for VT100 Compatible DevicesOperation | Action |
Backspace | The character immediately before the cursor is erased and all text at |
| and to the right of the cursor moves one character to the left. |
|
|
Left Arrow | If the cursor is not at the beginning of the line, the cursor moves one |
| character to the left. If the cursor is at the beginning of the line, no |
| action is taken. |
|
|
Right Arrow | If the cursor is not at the end of the line, the cursor moves one |
| character to the right. If the cursor is at the end of the line, no |
| action is taken. |
|
|
Up Arrow | The CLI maintains a buffer containing the last 16 typed command |
| lines. If there is a previous command line, it will be output as the |
| current command line and may be edited. If there is no previous |
| command line in the command line buffer, the command line is set to |
| blanks and you may enter a new command. |
|
|
Down Arrow | The next command in the CLI command line buffer is made available |
| for edit. If there is no next command line, the command line is set to |
| blanks and you may enter a new command. |
|
|
Delete | The character at the cursor position is deleted and all characters to |
| the right of the cursor position are moved left one character. |
