Entering CLI Commands

Command Completion

The CLI supports both command abbreviation and command completion. If the keystrokes entered
are enough to match a valid command, the CLI displays the remainder of the command syntax
when the <Tab> key or space bar is pressed. When typing a command, the <Tab> key or space bar
invokes auto-completion. If the keystrokes entered are definite, auto-completion will complete the
command. If the letters are not sufficient to identify a specific command, pressing the <Tab> key
or space bar will display commands matching the letters entered.
System commands are available in all CLI context levels.

Unordered Parameters

In a given context, the CLI accepts command parameters in any order as long as the command is
formatted in the proper command keyword and parameter syntax. Command completion will still
work as long as enough recognizable characters of the command are entered.
The following output shows different static-route command syntax and an example of the
command usage.
