Using Command Completion in Configuration Mode
CLI command completion also applies to commands in configuration mode and to configuration statements.
To display all possible commands or statements:
- Type the partial string followed immediately by a question mark; to complete a command or statement that you have partially typed, press the Spacebar.
Command completion also applies to identifiers, with one slight difference.
To display all possible identifiers:
- Type a partial string followed immediately by a question mark.
- To complete an identifier, you must press the Tab key.
This scheme allows you to enter identifiers with similar names; then press the Spacebar when you are done typing the identifier name.
