Entering and Editing Commands

Notes for entering commands.

  • The CLI is not case-sensitive.
  • You can enter partial CLI keywords.
    • Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command. For example, you cannot enter cl as a partial keyword because both the clock and class-map commands begin with the letters “cl.” You can enter clo, however, as a partial keyword because only one command begins with those three letters.
  • The TAB key auto-completes keywords in commands. Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command.
  • The UP and DOWN arrow keys display previously entered commands (refer to Command History).
  • The BACKSPACE and DELETE keys erase the previous letter.
  • Key combinations are available to move quickly across the command line. The following table describes these short-cut key combinations.
