If you are entering several commands for the same subsystem, you can enter the
subsystem name from the CLI. Then, execute individual commands for the subsystem
without typing the subsystem name each time. For example, if you are configuring several
entries for the IP routing table, you can simply enter ip at the CLI Configure prompt. The
prompt changes to indicate that the context for the commands to be entered has changed
to that of the IP subsystem. If you type a ?, only those commands that are valid for the IP
subsystem are displayed. The following is an example:
ia(config)# ip
ia(config)(ip)# ?
add
dos
disable
enable
helper-address
l3-hash
set
Ctrl-z
top
ia(config)(ip)# [Ctrl-Z]
ia(config)#
Line Editing Commands
The IA provides line editing capabilities that are similar to Emacs, a UNIX text editor. For
example, you can use certain line editing keystrokes to move forwards or backwards on a
line, delete or transpose characters, and delete portions of a line. To use the line editing
commands, you need to have a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator. The line editing
commands that you can use with CLI are detailed in the following table:
Command
Ctrl-a
Ctrl-b
Ctrl-c
Ctrl-d
Ctrl-e
Ctrl-f
Ctrl-g
Ctrl-h
Ctrl-i
Ctrl-j
