Using Cisco IOS XE Software
This chapter provides information about the Cisco IOS XE software used to configure the
Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router. The Cisco CSR 1000V Series uses standard
Cisco IOS XE CLI commands and conventions.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters if the abbreviations
contain enough letters to be different from any other currently available commands or parameters.
Table 2 -1 lists the keyboard shortcuts for entering and editing commands.

Using the History Buffer to Recall Commands

The history buffer stores the last 10 commands you entered. History substitution allows you to access
these commands without retyping them, by using special abbreviated commands.
Table 2 -2 lists the history substitution commands.
