Entering a string or text type value for an argument Generally, a string type argument value can contain any printable character (in the ASCII code range of 32 to 126) other than the question mark (?), quotation mark ("), backward slash (\), and space, and a text type argument value can contain any printable character other than the question mark. However, a specific argument might have more requirements. For more information about the specific requirements for an argument, see the relevant command reference. Abbreviating commands You can enter a command line quickly by entering incomplete keywords that uniquely identify the complete command. In user view, for example, commands starting with an s include startup saved-configuration and system-view. To enter the command system-view, you only need to type sy. To enter the command startup saved-configuration, type st s. You can also press Tab to complete an incomplete keyword. Configuring and using command keyword aliases The command keyword alias function allows you to replace the first keyword of a non-undo command or the second keyword of an undo command with your preferred keyword when you execute the command. For example, if you configure show as the alias for the display keyword, you can enter either show clock or display clock to execute the display clock command. Usage guidelines • After you successfully execute a command by using a keyword alias, the system saves the keyword, instead of its alias, to the running configuration. • If a string you entered for a command partially matches an alias and a keyword, the command indicated by the alias is executed. To execute the command indicated by the keyword, enter the complete keyword. • If a string you entered for a command partially matches multiple aliases, the system displays an error message. • If you enter a string that partially matches an alias and a keyword and press Tab, the keyword indicated by the alias is displayed. Pressing Tab again displays the keyword. Configuration procedure To configure a command keyword alias: Step Command 1. Enter system view. system-view 2.
