Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
enter part of a command, then enter "?" or press Tab, the CLI lists the options you can enter at this point in the
command string.
If you enter an invalid command followed by ?, a message appears indicating the command was unrecognized.
For example:
HP9300(config)# rooter ip
Unrecognized command
Command Completion
The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command or option. As
long as you enter enough characters of the command or option name to avoid ambiguity with other commands or
options, the CLI understands what you are typing.
Scroll Control
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the number of rows in your
terminal emulation window. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the global CONFIG level but
your terminal emulation window does not have enough rows to display them all at once, the page mode stops the
display and lists your choices for continuing the display.
Here is an example:
aaa
all-client
appletalk
arp
boot
some lines omitted for brevity...
ipx
lock-address
logging
mac
--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c
The software provides the following scrolling options:
• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at time).
• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
• Press CTRL + C to cancel the display.
