Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Using the CLI

Typing ? at the Manager level produces this listing:

When - - MORE - - appears, use the Space bar or [Return] to list additional commands.

Figure 4-4.Example of the Manager-Level Command Listing

When - - MORE - - appears, there are more commands in the listing. To list the next screenfull of commands, press the Space bar. To list the remaining commands one-by-one, repeatedly press [Enter].

Typing ? at the Global Configuration level or the Context Configuration level produces similar results.

Use [Tab] To Search for or Complete a Command Word. You can use [Tab] to help you find CLI commands or to quickly complete the current word in a command. To do so, type one or more consecutive characters in a command and then press [Tab] (with no spaces allowed). For example, at the Global Configuration level, if you press [Tab] immediately after typing “t”, the CLI displays the available command options that begin with “t”. For example:

ProCurve(config)# t [Tab] tacacs-server telnet-server

time timesync trunk telnet terminal traceroute ProCurve(config)# t
