CLI Commands

Using the CLI

To use a command, type the desired command at the prompt and press Enter.

Using Help

You can use the built-in Help feature to display the list of commands that are available to you.
Type help to see the list of available commands in the present context. Type help followed by
a word or part of a word to see a list of all commands starting with that word. For example, type
help show to see a list of all commands using show. Type tree to see the full list of
commands available at the current permission level.

Using auto-complete

If you are unsure of the spelling of a command, use the auto-complete feature. Type the first few
letters of the command and then press the tab key. The system completes the command
automatically. If more than one command begins with those letters, pressing the tab key twice
displays a list of commands matching those letters. Pressing the tab key twice automatically
populates the next part of the command when only one option is available.

Abbreviating commands

You can abbreviate commands or parts of commands in the CLI. As long as the abbreviation
uniquely identifies a command, the system executes that command. If the abbreviation is
ambiguous, the system displays a list of possible matches.
For example, typing sh ban login is the same as typing show banner login. However,
typing show m matches more than one command and is not executed. Instead the system
displays a list such as:
