In both modes, the CLI prompt indicates the current mode. In Operational mode, the prompt is:

configuration. For example, after navigating to interface » eth » lm3 » 1, the CLI prompt will be:
ruggedcom(config-eth-lm3/1)#

Using Command Line Completion

Commands and parameters do not need to be entered completely for the CLI to recognize them. By typing the
first few letters of a command and pressing Tab, the CLI will display the possible completions. If the first few
letters are unique to a specific command, the full command is automatically displayed. If the first few letters
match more than one possible command, a lit of possible completions appears.
NOTE
Automatic completion is disabled inside quotation marks. If the name of a command or parameter
contains a space, such as a filename, escape the space with a \ or enclose the string in quotation
marks. For example:
who file foo\ bar
or
who file "foo bar"
NOTE
Auto-completion also applies to filenames and directories, but cannot be initiated using a space. Auto-
completion using a space is disabled when typing a filename or directory name.
Section 2.6.3

Displaying Available Commands

To display a list of available commands at any point in the CLI, type ?.
For example, in Operational mode, typing ? at the command prompt displays a list of all Operational mode
commands:

Description
Operational mode is the default mode after a user logs in to the device. It allows users to perform general
device management actions and provides troubleshooting and maintenance utilities. It is used for viewing
the system status, controlling the CLI environment, monitoring and troubleshooting network connectivity, and
launching the Configuration mode.
Configuration mode is launched from the Operational Mode. It allows users to change the actual configuration
of the device.
All changes to the configuration are made on a copy of the active configuration, called the candidate
configuration. Changes do not take effect until they are committed.
