Command Reference Guide
Using CLI Shortcuts
The AOS CLI provides several shortcuts to help you configure your AOS product more easily. See the
following table for descriptions.
Shortcut Description
Up arrow key To redisplay a previously entered command, use the up arrow key. Continuing to
press the up arrow key cycles through all commands entered, starting with the most
recent command.
<Tab> key Pressing the <Tab> key after entering a partial (but unique) command will complete
the command, display it on the command prompt line, and wait for further input.
? The AOS CLI contains help to guide you through the configuration process. Using the
question mark, do any of the following:
Display a list of all subcommands in the current mode. For example:
(config-t1 1/1)#coding ?
ami - Alternate Mark Inversion
b8zs - Bipolar Eight Zero Substitution
Display a list of available commands beginning with certain letter(s). For example:
(config)#ip d?
default-gateway dhcp-server domain-lookup domain-name domain-proxy
Obtain syntax help for a specific command by entering the command, a space, and
then a question mark (?). The AOS CLI displays the range of values and a brief
description of the next parameter expected for that particular command. For example:
(config-eth 0/1)#mtu ?
<64-1500> - MTU (bytes)
<Ctrl + A> Jump to the beginning of the displayed command line. This shortcut is helpful when
using the no form of commands (when available). For example, pressing <Ctrl + A>
at the following prompt will place the cursor directly after the #:
(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6
<Ctrl + E> Jump to the end of the displayed command line. For example, pressing <Ctrl + E> at
the following prompt will place the cursor directly after the 6:
(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6
<Ctrl + U> Clears the current displayed command line. The following provides an example of the
<Ctrl + U> feature:
(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6 (Press <Ctrl + U> here)
(config-eth 0/1)#
auto finish You need only enter enough letters to identify a command as unique. For example,
entering int t1 1/1 at the Global Configuration mode prompt provides you access to
the configuration parameters for the specified T1 interface. Entering interface t1 1/1
would work as well, but is not necessary.
