PARTIAL HELP
When you enter a partial command (part of a command) and press the TAB or 
SPACE key, the command line parser completes the command if the string 
entered is unique to the command mode. For this to happen, service completion 
should have been enabled for the key.
For example, if you enter conf in the SUM mode, this entry is associated with the 
configure command. 
E
XAMPLE
ALU# conf <Tab> 
ALU# configure 
When you use the command completion feature the CLI displays the full 
command name. The command is not executed until you use the Return or Enter 
key. This way you can modify the command if the full command was not what you 
intended by the abbreviation.
If the CLI cannot complete the command, it displays the list of commands that 
begin with that set of characters.
For example, typing show ip i<tab> will list all commands, which start with "show 
ip i" in the current command mode:
ALU(config)# show ip i<tab>
igmp        interface
ALU(config)# show ip i"
Note: Characters you enter before the question mark are reprinted to the screen to allow 
you to complete the command entry. 
PARTIAL COMMANDS
When you enter a partial command (part of a command) and press the Enter key, 
the CLI executes the best matched command.
