DELL PC7024 User Manual

Using the CLI

• Partial keyword lookup — A command is incomplete and the <?> key is 

entered in place of a parameter. The matched parameters for this 

command are displayed.

The following features and conventions are applicable to CLI command entry 

and editing:

• History Buffer
• Negating Commands
• Show Command
• Command Completion
• Short Form Commands
• Keyboard Shortcuts
• Operating on Multiple Objects (Range)
• Command Scripting
• CLI Command Notation Conventions
• Interface Naming Conventions

Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded in an internally 

managed Command History buffer. Commands are stored in the buffer, 

which operates on a 

First In First Out (FIFO) basis. These commands can be 

recalled, reviewed, modified, and reissued. This buffer is not preserved after 

switch resets.
