CLI Tips, Techniques, and Shortcuts

This chapter describes techniques for using the command-line interface (CLI) of the

Cisco IOSXR software.

Contents

The chapter contains the following sections:

•CLI Tips and Shortcuts, page 6-1

•Displaying System Information with show Commands, page 6-5

•Wildcards, Templates, and Aliases, page 6-11

•Command History, page 6-16

•Key Combinations, page 6-18

Note Commands can be entered in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed c ase. Only passwords are case sensitive.

However, the Cisco Systems documentation convention presents commands in lowercase.
