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.

describes these short-cut key combinations.
