CLI Tips and Shortcuts
The following sections describe tips and shortcuts useful when using the CLI:
• Entering Abbreviated Commands, page 109
• Using the Question Mark (?) to Display On-Screen Command Help, page 110
• Completing a Partial Command with the Tab Key, page 112
• Identifying Command Syntax Errors, page 112
• Using the no Form of a Command, page 113
• Editing Command Lines that Wrap, page 113
Entering Abbreviated Commands
You can abbreviate commands and keywords to the number of characters that allow a unique
abbreviation. For example, the configure command can be abbreviated as config because the abbreviated
form of the command is unique. The router accepts and executes the abbreviated command.
