Navigating the CLI
Configuration Using The Command Line Interface
To get information on a specific command, such as the format of the command or additional
specifiers used by that command, type the command, a single space, and then the question mark. For
example: enable<space>? displays information on the enable commands.
Using the Tab Key to Complete a Command
Instead of individually keying-in every character of a command, you can enter the first few
characters and press the Tab key to automatically fill in the remainder of that command. For
example, to enter the “show running-configuration” command, you could enter “sh Tab ru Tab”.
This feature increases the rate at which you can enter commands, and often reduces the number of
keystroke errors.
