Command line interface shortcuts 
The following shortcuts allow you to enter commands quickly and easily.  
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 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Configuration 
Menu from the Main# prompt is: 
Main# cfg/sys/ssnmp/name 
Command abbreviation 
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters that distinguish the command from the others 
in the same menu or submenu. 
For example, the command shown above could also be entered as:  
Main# c/sys/ssn/n 
Tab completion 
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and pressing the Tab key, 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 the Tab key 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 displays.
