Command Line Interface Shortcuts
Command Stacking
As a shortcut, you can type multiple commands on a single line, separated by forward slashes
(/). You can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that you want.
For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the Spanning Tree Port Configuration Menu from
the Main# prompt is as follows:
Main# cfg/l2/stg 1/port
Command Abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which distinguish the com-
mand from the others in the same menu or sub-menu. For example, the command shown above
could also be entered as follows:
Main# c/l2/stg 1/po
Tab Completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and hitting <Tab>, the CLI will
display all commands or options in that menu that begin with that letter. Entering additional
letters will further refine the list of commands or options displayed. If only one command fits
the input text when <Tab> is pressed, that command will be supplied on the command line,
waiting to be entered. If the <Tab> key is pressed without any input on the command line, the
currently active menu will be displayed.
