Editing Keystrokes - Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Basic System Configuration Manual

Entering CLI Commands
*A:ALA-12>config>router# static-route preference 1 10.1.0.0/16 metric
Some SR OS CLI commands have multiple unnamed parameters. For example, the subrate
csu-mode rate-step command has both a csu-mode parameter and a rate-step parameter that
do not have leading keywords. SR OS uses a best-match algorithm to select which parts of
the user input are intended to be used for each unnamed parameter. This best-match algorithm
depends on the specific command.
In some cases, it is not possible for the algorithm to be 100% accurate, and the SR OS may
assign a value to an unintended parameter when two unnamed parameters have similar
constraints and syntax. For example, the environment alias alias-name alias-command-
name command may reverse the alias-name and alias-command-name parameters if the first
parameter entered is larger than 80 characters.
