Understanding the command prompt

As you navigate through the WatchGuard Command Line
Interface, the command prompt will always indicate what
command level/mode you are in. For example:
Command Prompt
WG#
WG(config)#
WG(config-system)#
WG(config-if)#

Abbreviating commands and keywords

You can abbreviate the available commands and keywords
for each command group or mode, down to the minimum
number of characters that can safely be used to represent a
command, so that it cannot be mistaken for another com-
mand by the CLI. For example, the command show can be
abbreviated " sh " and the command dmz can be abbrevi-
ated as " d ."
In Administration mode, you cannot use abbreviated
commands. Administration mode requires that you type the
full word for each command.
