Chapter 1 Command Line Interface

1.6.3 Entering Partial Commands

The CLI does not accept partial or incomplete commands. You may enter a unique part of a command and press [TAB] to have the ZyWALL automatically display the full command.

For example, if you enter config and press [TAB] , the full command of configure automatically displays.

If you enter a partial command that is not unique and press [TAB], the ZyWALL displays a list of commands that start with the partial command.

Figure 13 Non-Unique Partial Command Example

Router# c [TAB]

clear

configure copy

Router# co

[TAB]

configure

copy

1.6.4 Entering a ? in a Command

Typing a ? (question mark) usually displays help information. However, some commands allow you to input a ?, for example as part of a string. Press [CTRL+V] on your keyboard to enter a ? without the ZyWALL treating it as a help query.

1.6.5 Command History

The ZyWALL keeps a list of commands you have entered for the current CLI session. You can use any commands in the history again by pressing the up () or down () arrow key to scroll through the previously used commands and press [ENTER].

1.6.6 Navigation

Press [CTRL]+A to move the cursor to the beginning of the line. Press [CTRL]+E to move the cursor to the end of the line.

1.6.7 Erase Current Command

Press [CTRL]+U to erase whatever you have currently typed at the prompt (before pressing [ENTER]).

1.6.8 The no Commands

When entering the no commands described in this document, you may not need to type the whole command. For example, with the “[no] mss <536..1452>” command, you use “mss 536” to specify the MSS value. But to disable the MSS setting, you only need to type “no mss” instead of “no mss 536”.
