1.4.2 Completing a Partial Command Name

If you cannot remember a command name (or if you want to reduce the amount of typing

you have to perform) enter the first few letters of a command, then press the Tab key. The

command line parser completes the command if the string entered is unique to the

command mode. If your keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-I.

The CLI recognizes a command once you have entered enough characters to make the

command unique. If you enter "conf" within the privileged EXEC mode, the CLI associates

the entry with the configure command, since only the configure command begins with

In the following example, the CLI recognizes a unique string in the privileged EXEC mode

when the Tab key is pressed:

RFSwitch# conf<Tab>

RFSwitch# configure

When using the command completion feature, the CLI displays the full command name.

The command is not executed until the Return or Enter key is pressed. Modify the

command if the full command was not what you intended in the abbreviation. If entering

a set of characters (indicating more than one command), the system lists all commands

beginning with that set of characters.
