Navigational and Shortcut Features
Auto-Completion
The CLI interface features tab completion. When you type in the first letters of a command and type
<Tab>, the system automatically fills in the rest of the command or keyword. This feature works only
when there is one command that could be possible using the starting letters.
Example 1
The letters snm followed by <Tab> will be completed to the command snmp-server.
SCE(config)#snm <Tab>
SCE(config)#snmp-server
If you type <Enter> instead of <Tab>, and there is no ambiguity, the system actually carries out the
command that is the result of the auto-completion.
Example 2
The following example displays how the system completes a partial (unique) command for the enable
command. The system carries out the command using the default authorization level (10) when you press
Enter.

argument. In this example, the enable command is completed using the specified value (15) for the
authorization level.
