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 :
- Command names. For example, typing net<Tab> auto-completes the command as network.
- Parameter names. For example:
- ping hostname int<Tab> auto-completes the parameter as interface.
- system b<Tab> auto-completes the parameter as backup.
- 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:
- Parameter values that are string types.
- Integer values.
- File names.
- Select parameters passed to commands that perform an action.
