characters of a command. If you have typed enough characters to distinguish
the command from all other available commands, the Secure Router OS will
finish the word for you.
Truncation. The ProCurve Secure Router OS also recognizes truncated
commands. You only need to enter enough characters in the CLI to distinguish
the command you wish to execute. A good way to tell if you have typed enough
characters is to press the
OS is able to finish the command without having to list possible options, you
have typed enough characters.
For example, when entering the enable mode context, it is not necessary to
type the whole word enable. At the basic mode context prompt there are three
commands that begin with the letter "e" and only one command that begins
with the letters "en." To enter the enable mode context from basic mode you
only need to enter en and press
typing en at the basic mode context prompt. Because the Secure Router OS
is able to finish the word enable, it completes the truncated command.

Basic Commands

This section gives some basic CLI commands that you will need to operate
your router. Only basic commands are described here. For a more compre-
hensive list and description of router commands, see the Basic Management
and Configuration Guide, Chapter 1: Overview; or the SROS Command Line
Interface Reference Guide.
no
In the enable security mode context, typing the word no before a command
turns off or resets a command option to its defaults. For example, if you want
to stop events notices from displaying to the CLI screen, enter no events.
do
When in the configuration mode context, if you need to execute an enable
mode command, type do before you enter the command. The do command
allows you to stay in your current mode context while executing a command
that is usually only available in the enable mode context. You will most often
use this command with show commands. For example, to display the status
of an interface while configuring a protocol interface, enter:
Syntax: do show interface <interface type> <slot>/<port>
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)# do show interface e1 1/1
