Unrecognized command
Command completion
The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command or option. As long as you enter
enough characters of the command or option name to avoid ambiguity with other commands or options, the CLI understands what you
are typing.
Scroll control
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the number of rows in your terminal emulation window.
For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the global CONFIG level but your terminal emulation window does not have
enough rows to display them all at once, the page mode stops the display and lists your choices for continuing the display.
Here is an example.
aaa
access-list
all-client
arp
banner
base-mac-addr
boot
some lines omitted for brevity...
default-vlan-id
enable
enable-acl-counter
end
exit
--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c
The software provides the following scrolling options:
• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at time).
• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
• Press Ctrl-C cancel the display.
Line editing commands
The CLI supports the following line editing commands. To enter a line-editing command, use the CTRL-key combination for the
command by pressing and holding the CTRL key, then pressing the letter associated with the command.
