Command Line Interface Shortcuts

Command Stacking
You can type multiple commands separated by forward slashes (/) on a
single line to access a submenu and one of the related menu options.
Type as many commands as required to access the desired submenu
and menu option. For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the list
command in the NTP Servers menu from the Main menu prompt is as
follows:
>> Main# cfg/sys/time/ntp/list
You can also use command stacking to go up one or more levels in the
menu system, and then go directly to another submenu and one of the
related menu options in that submenu. For example, to go up two levels
from the NTP Servers menu to the System menu, and from there to the
DNS settings menu to access the DNS servers menu, you would type:
>> NTP Servers# ../../dns/servers
Command Abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which
distinguish the command from the others in the same menu or submenu.
For example, the command shown in the first preceding example could
also be entered as follows:
>> Main# c/sy/t/n/l
TAB Command Completion
By typing the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and pressing
TAB, all commands in that menu beginning with the letter you typed
are displayed. By typing additional letters, you can further refine the list
of commands or options displayed. If only one command matches the
letter(s) you typed, that command is supplied on the command line when
pressing TAB. You can then execute the command by pressing ENTER.
If the TAB key is pressed without any input on the command line, the
currently active menu is displayed.
TAB Value Presentation
Pressing the TAB key also displays available options, for example if you
want to view previously configured values.
