Chapter 3: Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter describes the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI is an industry standard command
line interface that you can use for single-device management.
Command Line Interface Fundamentals
The following sections contain conceptual information about the Command Line Interface (CLI).
CLI Command Modes
Command Line Interface (CLI) command modes provide specific sets of CLI commands. When you
log onto the switch, you are in User EXEC mode with limited commands. While in a higher mode,
you can access most commands from lower modes, except if they conflict with commands of your
current mode.
There are two categories of CLI commands: show commands and configuration commands. Show
commands can be used from multiple command modes with the same results; they show the same
configuration information regardless of the command mode from which the show command is used.
Configuration command results, however, may be dependent on the command mode from which a
configuration command is used. For example, an enable command used in Global Configuration
mode will enable a feature globally for all devices, while the same command used from one of the
interface command modes will enable a feature for a specific interface only.
Your user authorization credentials determine what commands are available to you in Privileged
EXEC mode and all higher level modes. If you have read-only access, you cannot progress beyond
User EXEC mode. If you have read-write access, you can progress through all available modes.
The CLI commands for navigating from lower to higher level modes are listed in the following table.
To navigate from higher to lower level modes, use the following commands:
•exit to navigate from a higher level mode to a lower level mode, down to Privileged EXEC
mode
•end from any command mode directly to Privileged EXEC mode
•disable to navigate from Privileged EXEC mode to User EXEC mode
•logout to terminate the CLI session from any command mode
July 2020 Using CLI and EDM on ERS 4900 and 5900 Series 11

The following table describes the various command modes, including the CLI commands to access
and to exit each mode.

Command completion
The CLI provides potential command completions to the command string. Completions are provided
by using a question mark (?) or by using the CLI autocompletion feature.
Command Line Interface Fundamentals
July 2020 Using CLI and EDM on ERS 4900 and 5900 Series 13

? command completion
The ? command completion is available for any valid command. By typing a command and using
a ? as the last argument in the command, the system returns a list of possible command
completions from the point of the ?. A short description is provided with each possible completion.
Example
If you enter the following command:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute ?
CLI provides a list of completions for the redistribute ? command.
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute ?
direct Configure OSPF redistribution policies for direct routes
isis Configure OSPF redistribution policies for isis routes
rip Configure OSPF redistribution policies for RIP routes
static Configure OSPF redistribution policies for static routes
All the parameters listed under redistribute indicate sub-context commands.
You must use one of the available completions, and if necessary, use the command completion help
again to find the next completion.
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute direct ?
enable Enable isis redistribute direct command
<cr>
When you see <cr> (Carriage Return/Enter Key) in the list with the additional choices, this means
that no additional parameters are required to execute the CLI command. However, the additional
choices listed could be peer commands or sub-context commands.
For example, the parameter listed under redistribute direct ? is a peer commands. You can
enter these peer commands on the same line as the root command, for example redistribute
direct enable. However, the <cr> indicates that you can also enter the redistribute
direct command only and this command does not require any additional parameters at this level.
CLI autocompletion
CLI autocompletion is a feature that you can use to automatically fill in the unique parts of a
command string rather than typing the entire command. Autcompletion makes the CLI experience
easier and prevents mistakes in spelling that force you to re-enter the command.
Autocompletion completes the token in the command as soon as it becomes unique.
The Tab key autocompletes the command without executing the command, and places the cursor
immediately after the last character. The Enter key autocompletes the command and executes it.
Example
To enable redistribution of OSPF direct routes,
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute direct
When you use redistribute ?, you see four possible sub-context commands.
direct
isis
rip
static
Command Line Interface (CLI)
July 2020 Using CLI and EDM on ERS 4900 and 5900 Series 14

If you type the following without pressing Enter:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute direct m
and press the Tab key, the system completes the command to the following point:
redistribute direct metric
Two possible completions exist. You can type -t, and then press Tab to finish the command:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute direct metric-type
default command operator
You can reset the modified configuration of a command to the default configuration by using the
default operator.
Use the ? command completion along with the default keyword in each configuration mode, to view
the list of commands that support the default operator. For more information, see Command
completion on page 13.
Example
Configure csnp-interval to its default value. The default value of csnp-interval is 10
seconds.
Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

GREP with CLI show command
You can use Global Regular Expression Print (GREP) with show commands to filter the output
based on match criterial.
Enter the show command followed by the pipe (|) character, followed by the GREP filter command.
The show command output contains only the lines that match the GREP filter pattern.
Command Line Interface Fundamentals
July 2020 Using CLI and EDM on ERS 4900 and 5900 Series 17

The following GREP filter commands are supported:
Filter function Description
count Counts the number of lines in the output of a command.
match Displays only the output lines which match the given pattern.
except Displays only the output lines which do not match the given pattern.
find Displays the output of a command starting from the first line which matches
the given pattern.
no-more Temporarily disables pagination for the output of an CLI command. When
the lines of output exceed the terminal length, the entire output of the
command is displayed and message does not appear to continue or quit.
head Limits the output of a command to the first few lines. If limit is not specified,
the first 10 lines appear.
tail Limits the output of a command to the last few lines. If a number is not
specified the last 10 lines are shown.
For more information about the functions, see GREP CLI show command filters on page 27.
Timestamp in show command outputs
The output for all CLI show commands includes a timestamp header to indicate when the command
output was generated. This information can be helpful when communicating with Support.
