Entering Commands
This section describes how to enter the CLI commands.
Keywords and Arguments
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command “show interfaces ethernet,” show and interfaces are keywords, and ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type.
You can enter commands as described below:
•To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
•To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:
RoamAbout 3000(config)#username dave
Minimum Abbreviation
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely identify a command. For example, the command “configure” can be entered as con. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for further input.
Command Completion
If you terminate the input using the Tab key, the CLI displays the remaining characters of a partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. For example, typing con followed by a tab displays the command up to “configure.”
