order. For example, to enable Privileged Exec command mode, and
display the startup configuration, enter:

enable
Console#
show startup-config

To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required

Minimum Abbreviation
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely
identify a command. For example, the command “configure” can be
entered as
con
. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for
further input.
Command Completion
If you terminate input with a Tab key, the CLI will print the remaining
characters of a partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. In the
“logging history” example, typing
log
followed by a tab will result in
printing the command up to “
logging
.”
Getting Help on Commands
You can display a brief description of the help system by entering the
help
command. You can also display command syntax by using the “?”
character to list keywords or parameters.
