When - - MORE - - appears, there are more commands in the listing. To list the next screen of
commands, press the Space bar. To list the remaining commands one-by-one, repeatedly press
[Enter].
Typing ? at the Global Configuration level or the Context Configuration level produces similar
results.
Use [Tab] To search for or complete a command word. You can use [Tab] to help you find CLI
commands or to quickly complete the current word in a command. To do so, type one or more
consecutive characters in a command and then press [Tab] (with no spaces allowed). For example,
at the Global Configuration level, if you press [Tab] immediately after typing “t”, the CLI displays
the available command options that begin with “t”. For example, entering
HP Switch(config)# t [Tab]
displays the following:
HP Switch(config)# t
tacacs-server
telnet-server
tftp
time
timesync
trunk
trunk-load-balance
task-monitor
telnet
terminal
test
traceroute
traceroute6
As mentioned above, if you type part of a command word and press [Tab], the CLI completes the
current word (if you have typed enough of the word for the CLI to distinguish it from other
possibilities), including hyphenated extensions. For example, entering
HP Switch(config)# port- [Tab]
displays the following:
