Command Completion
The 6416SW management command line accepts abbreviated command input with a
facility called command completion. Command completion lets you enter a command
and its parameters by typing the minimum number of characters to uniquely identify the
command or a parameter.
For example, to enter the SAVE command, you only need to type SA and press the
space bar:
ONcoreATM> sa
The system automatically fills in the rest of the command:
ONcoreATM> save
To enter a parameter, such as COMMUNITY, with the SAVE command, you can type the
first few letters (for example, COMM) and press the space bar:
ONcoreATM> save comm
The rest of the parameter is automatically entered:
ONcoreATM> save community
If you enter an insufficient number of letters (for example, only S or C) for the system to
determine the command or parameter (for example, Set, Show, Save and so on), the
word is not completed and you are prompted to enter the rest of the command. The
system also prompts you if you forget to enter a mandatory parameter.
