Entering Commands
This section describes how to enter CLI commands.
Keywords and
Arguments
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a
command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the
command “show interfaces ethernet,” show and interfaces are keywords, and
ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type.
You can enter commands as follows:
◆ To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
◆ To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters
after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the
administrator, enter:
AP(config)#password admin tpschris
Minimum
Abbreviation
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely identify a
command. For example, the command “configure” can be entered as con. If an
entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for further input.
Command
Completion
If you terminate input with a Tab key, the CLI will print the remaining characters of a
partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. In the “configure” example, typing
con followed by a tab will result in printing the command up to “configure.”
Getting Help on
Commands
You can display a brief description of the help system by entering the help
command. You can also display command syntax by following a command with the
“?” character to list keywords or parameters.
Showing Commands If you enter a “?” at the command prompt, the system will display the first level of
keywords for the current configuration mode (Exec, Global Configuration, or
Interface). You can also display a list of valid keywords for a specific command. For
example, the command “show ?” displays a list of possible show commands:
AP# show ?
APmanagement Show management AP information.
authentication Show Authentication parameters.
bridge Show bridge.
config Show current configuration.
event-log Show event log on console.
filters Show filters.
firmware-image Show firmware images version.
