Use the Tab key or the space bar to display abbreviated help
When executed from the root command prompt, pressing the Tab key or the space bar displays an
abbreviated list of available commands:
><space>
config exit cli-legacy cp help ls mkdir
modem more mv ping reboot rm scp
show system traceroute update
>
Similar behavior is available with any command name:
> config network interface <space>
.. ... defaultip defaultlinklocal lan
loopback modem
> config network interface
Auto-complete commands and parameters
When entering a command and parameter, press the Tab key to cause the command line interface to
auto-complete as much of the command and parameter as possible. Typing the space bar has similar
behavior. If multiple commands are available that will match the entered text, auto-complete is not
performed and the available commands are displayed instead.
Auto-complete applies to these command elements only :
n
Command names. For example, typing net<Tab> auto-completes the command as network.
n
Parameter names. For example:
l
ping hostname int<Tab> auto-completes the parameter as interface.
l
system b<Tab> auto-completes the parameter as backup.
n
Parameter values, where the value is one of an enumeration or an on|off type; for example:
(config)> serial port1 enable t<Tab>
auto-completes to
(config)> serial port1 enable true
Auto-complete does not function for:
n
Parameter values that are string types.
n
Integer values.
n
File names.
n
Select parameters passed to commands that perform an action.
