Set CLI to Prompt after a Software Upgrade

By default, the CLI prompts you to restart after a software upgrade. To disable the prompt for an individual session, use the set cli restart-on-upgrade off command:

user@host> set cli restart-on-upgrade off

To re-enable the prompt, use the set cli restart-on-upgrade on command:

user@host> set cli restart-on-upgrade on

Set Command Completion

By default, you can type a space or tab to have the CLI complete a command. To have the CLI allow only a tab to complete a command, use the set cli complete-on-space command:

user@host> set cli complete-on-space off 

Disabling complete-on-space

user@host> 

To re-enable the use of both space and tab characters for command completion, use the set cli complete-on-space on command:

user@host> set cli complete-on-space on

Enabling complete-on-space

user@host>
