Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Using the CLI

Typing ? at the Context Configuration level produces similar results,

depending on the context.

- - MORE - - appears below the help list, then there are more commands to

be displayed.

■ To show the next page of commands, press the [Space] bar.

■ To list the remaining commands one-by-one, repeatedly press [Enter].

■ To quit the listing, type [Ctrl] [C].

Completing the Current Command

You can use [Tab] to quickly complete the current word in a command. To do

so, type the first few consecutive characters for a command and then press

[Tab] (with no spaces allowed). If you have typed enough of the word for the

CLI to distinguish it from other options, the CLI completes the current word,

otherwise it displays the available completions.

For example, at the Global Configuration level, if you press

[Tab] immediately

after typing "s", the CLI displays the command that begins with "s". For

example:

ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)# s[Tab]

show

snmp-server

snmpv3

sntp

ssh

stp

Use Shorthand Entries. The CLI accepts abbreviated commands and

options as long as they contain enough characters to be distinguished from

any other currently available commands or options. For example, both of the

following examples will switch to Global Configuration level:

ProCurve Acess Point 530# configure

ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)#

ProCurve Acess Point 530# config

ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)#
