Using the CLI
At the command-line interface (CLI), you can enter text commands to configure, manage, and
monitor the device. The following text is displayed when you access the CLI:
******************************************************************************
* Copyright (c) 2010-2016 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP *
* Without the owner's prior written consent, *
* no decompiling or reverse-engineering shall be allowed. *
******************************************************************************
<Sysname>
You can use different methods to log in to the CLI, including through the console port, Telnet, and
SSH. For more information about login methods, see "Login overview."
CLI views
Commands are grouped in different views by feature. To use a command, you must enter its view.
CLI views are hierarchically organized, as shown in Figure 1. Each view has a unique prompt, from
which you can identify where you are and what you can do. For example, the prompt
[Sysname-vlan100] shows that you are in VLAN 100 view and can configure attributes for that
VLAN.
Figure 1 CLI views
You are placed in user view immediately after you log in to the CLI. The user view prompt is
<Device-name>, where Device-name indicates the device name. The device name is Sysname by
default. You can change it by using the sysname command.
In user view, you can perform the following tasks:
•Perform basic operations including display, debug, file management, FTP, Telnet, clock setting,
and reboot.
•Enter system view. The system view prompt is [Device-name].
In system view, you can perform the following tasks:
•Configure settings that affect the device as a whole, such as the daylight saving time, banners,
and hotkeys.
•Enter different feature views. For example, you can perform the following tasks:
VLAN view
Interface
view
System
view
User view
User line
view
Local user
view
2
{Enter interface view to configure interface parameters.
{Enter VLAN view to add ports to the VLAN.
{Enter user line view to configure login user attributes.
To disp la y all commands available in a view, enter a question mark (?) at the view prompt.
Entering system view from user view
Task Command
Enter system view. system-view
Returning to the upper-level view from any view
Task Command
Return to the upper-level view from any view. quit
Executing the quit command in user view terminates your connection to the device.
In public key view, use the peer-public-key end command to return to system view.
Returning to user view
To return directly to user view from any other view, use the return command or press Ctrl+Z.
Task Command
Return directly to user view. return
Accessing the CLI online help
The CLI online help is context sensitive. Enter a question mark at any prompt or in any position of a
command to display all available options.
To access the CLI online help, use one of the following methods:
•Enter a question mark at a view prompt to display the first keyword of every command available
in the view. For example:
<Sysname> ?
User view commands:
archive Archive configuration
backup Backup the startup configuration file to a TFTP server
boot-loader Set boot loader
…
•Enter a space and a question mark after a command keyword to display all available keywords
and arguments at the position.
{If the question mark is in the place of a keyword, the CLI displays all possible keywords,
each with a brief description. For example:
<Sysname> terminal ?
debugging Enable to display debugging logs on the current terminal
logging Display logs on the current terminal
3
monitor Enable to display logs on the current terminal
{If the question mark is in the place of an argument, the CLI displays the description of the
argument. For example:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface ?
<1-4094> Vlan-interface interface number
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 1 ?
<cr>
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 1
<1-4094> is the value range for the argument. <cr> indicates that the command is complete
and you can press Enter to execute the command.
•Enter an incomplete keyword string followed by a question mark to display all keywords starting
with that string. For example:
<Sysname> q?
quit
<Sysname> display ftp?
ftp
ftp-server
ftp-user
Using the undo form of a command
Most configuration commands have an undo form for the following tasks:
•Canceling a configuration.
•Restoring the default.
•Disabling a feature.
For example, the info-center enable command enables the information center. The undo
info-center enable command disables the information center.
Entering a command
When you enter a command, you can perform the following tasks:
•Use keys or hotkeys to edit the command line.
•Use abbreviated keywords or keyword aliases.
Editing a command line
To edit a command line, use the keys listed in Table 1 or the hotkeys listed in Table 2. When you are
finished, you can press Enter to execute the command.
A command line can have up to 512 characters, including keywords, arguments, spaces, and special
characters.
Table 1 Command line editing keys
Keys Function
Common keys
If the edit buffer is not full, pressing a common key inserts a character at the
cursor and moves the cursor to the right. The edit buffer can store up to 511
characters. Unless the buffer is full, all common characters that you enter
4
Keys Function
before pressing Ente
r
are saved in the edit buffer.
Backspace Deletes the character to the left of the cursor and moves the cursor back
one character.
Left arrow key (←) Moves the cursor one character to the left.
Right arrow key (→) Moves the cursor one character to the right.
Up arrow key (↑) Gets the previous history command.
Down arrow key (↓) Gets the next history command.
Tab
If you press Tab after entering part of a keyword, the system automatically
completes the keyword:
•If a unique match is found, the system displays the complete keyword.
•If there is more than one match, press Tab multiple times to pick the
keyword you want to enter.
•If there is no match, the system does not modify what you entered but
displays it again in the next line.
Entering a text or string type value for an argument
A text type argument value can contain printable characters except a question mark (?).
A string type argument value can contain any printable characters except for the following characters:
•Question mark (?).
•Quotation mark (").
•Backward slash (\).
•Space.
A specific argument might have more requirements. For more information, see the relevant
command reference.
To enter a printable character, you can enter the character or its ASCII code in the range of 32 to 126.
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 sinclude 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 feature allows you to use your own keywords to replace the following
keywords when you execute a command:
•The first keywords of non-undo commands.
•The second keywords of undo commands.
For example, if you configure the alias show for the display keyword, you can enter either show
clock or display clock to execute the display clock command.
5
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 Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the command
keyword alias feature. command-alias enable By default, the command keyword
alias feature is disabled.
3. Configure a command

By default, no command keyword
alias is configured.
You must enter the cmdkey and
alias arguments in their complete
form.
4. (Optional.) Display command
keyword alias information. display command-alias This command is available in any
view.
Configuring and using command hotkeys
The system defines the hotkeys shown in Table 2 and provides five configurable command hotkeys.
Pressing a command hotkey is the same as entering a command.
If a hotkey is also defined by the terminal software you are using to interact with the device, the
terminal software definition takes effect.
To configure a command hotkey:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Assign a command
to a hotkey. hotkey { ctrl_g | ctrl_l | ctrl_o |
ctrl_t | ctrl_u } command

Esc+F Moves the cursor forward one word.
Enabling redisplaying entered-but-not-submitted commands
Your input might be interrupted by system information output. If redisplaying
entered-but-not-submitted commands is enabled, the system redisplays your input after finishing the
output. You can then continue entering the command line.
To enable redisplaying entered-but-not-submitted commands:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable redisplaying
entered-but-not-sub
mitted commands. info-center synchronous
By default, the system does not redisplay
entered-but-not-submitted commands.
For more information about this command, see
Network Management and Monitoring
Command Reference.
Understanding command-line error messages
After you press Enter to submit a command, the command line interpreter examines the command
syntax.
•If the command passes syntax check, the CLI executes the command.
7
•If the command fails syntax check, the CLI displays an error message.
Table 3 Common command-line error messages
Error message Cause
% Unrecognized command found at '^' position. The keyword in the marked position is invalid.
% Incomplete command found at '^' position. One or more required keywords or arguments are
missing.
% Ambiguous command found at '^' position. The entered character sequence matches more than
one command.
% Too many parameters. The entered character sequence contains excessive
keywords or arguments.
% Wrong parameter found at '^' position. The argument in the marked position is invalid.
Using the command history feature
The system automatically saves commands successfully executed by a login user to two command
history buffers:
•Command history buffer for the user line.
•Command history buffer for all user lines.
Table 4 Comparison between the two types of command history buffers
Item Command history buffer for a user
line Command history buffer for all
user lines
What kind of
commands are stored
in the buffer?
Commands successfully executed by the
current user of the user line.
Commands successfully executed
by all login users.
Cleared when the
user logs out? Yes. No.
How to view buffered
commands?
Use the display history-command
command.
Use the display history-command all
command.
How to call buffered
commands?
1. Navigate to the command in the buffer:
{In Windows 200xor Windows XP
HyperTerminal or Telnet, use the
up or down arrow key (↑or ↓).
{In Windows 9xHyperTerminal, use
Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N.
2. Press Enter.
You cannot call buffered commands.
How to set the buffer
size?
Use the history-command max-size
size-value command in user line view to set
the buffer size.
By default, the buffer can store up to 10
commands.
You cannot set the buffer size.
By default, the buffer can store up to
1024 commands.
How to disable the
buffer?
Setting the buffer size to 0 disables the
buffer. You cannot disable the buffer.
The system follows these rules when buffering commands:
8
•Buffering a command in the exact format in which the command was entered. For example, if
you enter an incomplete command, the buffered command is also incomplete. If you enter a
command with a command keyword alias, the buffered command also uses the alias.
•If you enter a command in the same format multiple times in succession, the system buffers the
command only once. If you enter a command in different formats multiple times, the system
buffers each command format. For example, display cu and display current-configuration
are buffered as two entries but successive repetitions of display cu create only one entry.
•To buffer a new command when a buffer is full, the system deletes the oldest command entry in
the buffer.
Controlling the CLI output
This section describes the CLI output control features that help you identify the desired output.
Pausing between screens of output
The system automatically pauses after displaying a screen if the output is too long to fit on one
screen. You can use the keys described in "Output controlling keys" to display more information or
stop the display.
By default, up to 24 lines can be displayed on a screen. You can change the limit by using the
screen-length screen-length command. For more information about this command, see
Fundamentals Command Reference.
You can also disable pausing between screens of output for the current session. Then, all output is
displayed at one time and the screen is refreshed continuously until the final screen is displayed.
Output controlling keys
Keys Function
Space Displays the next screen.
Enter Displays the next line.
Ctrl+C Stops the display and cancels the command execution.
<PageUp> Displays the previous page.
<PageDown> Displays the next page.
Disabling pausing between screens of output
To disable pausing between screens of output, execute the following command in user view:
Task Command Remarks
Disable pausing
between screens of
output for the current
session.
screen-length
disable
The default for a session varies by settings of the
screen-length command in user line view. The default
settings of the screen-length command are pausing
between screens of output and displaying up to 24 lines on
a screen.
This command is a one-time command and takes effect
only for the current session.
9
Numbering each output line from a display command
You can use the | by-linenum option to prefix each display command output line with a number for
easy identification.
Each line number is displayed as a 5-character string and might be followed by a colon (:) or hyphen
(-). If you specify both | by-linenum and | begin regular-expression for a display command, a
hyphen is displayed for all lines that do not match the regular expression.
To number each output line from a display command:
Task Command
Number each output line from a display command. display command |by-linenum
For example:
# Display system time information, numbering each output line.
<Sysname> display clock | by-linenum
1: 06:14:21 UTC Sat 01/01/2011
Filtering the output from a display command
You can use the | { begin | exclude | include } regular-expression option to filter the display
command output:
•begin—Displays the first line matching the specified regular expression and all subsequent
lines.
•exclude—Displays all lines not matching the specified regular expression.
•include—Displays all lines matching the specified regular expression.
•regular-expression—A case-sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters, which can contain the
special characters described in Table 5.
The amount of time for the filtering operation varies by regular expression. The more complicated the
regular expression is, the longer the operation takes. To stop the operation, press Ctrl+C.

Saving the output from a display command to a file
A display command shows certain configuration and operation information of the device. Its output
might vary over time or with user configuration or operation. You can save the output to a file for
future retrieval or troubleshooting.
Use one of the following methods to save the output from a display command:
•Save the output to a separate file. Use this method if you want to use one file for a single
display command.
•Append the output to the end of a file. Use this method if you want to use one file for multiple
display commands.
To save the output from a display command to a file, use one of the following commands in any view:
12
Task Command
Save the output from a display command to a separate file. display command > filename
Append the output from a display command to the end of a file. display command >> filename
For example:
# Save system time information to a separate file named clock.txt.
<Sysname> display clock > clock.txt
# Verify whether the system time information is saved to file clock.txt.

Viewing and managing the output from a display command
effectively
You can use the following measures in combination to filter and manage the output from a display
command:
•Numbering each output line from a display command
•Filtering the output from a display command
•Saving the output from a display command to a file
To use multiple measures to view and manage the output from a display command effectively,
execute the following command in any view:
Task Command
View and manage the output from a
display command effectively. display command [ | [ by-linenum ] { begin | exclude |
include } regular-expression ] [ >filename | >> filename ]
For example:
# Save the running configuration to a separate file named test.txt, with each line numbered.
<Sysname> display current-configuration | by-linenum > test.txt
# Append lines including snmp in the running configuration to the file test.txt.
<Sysname> display current-configuration | include snmp >> test.txt
# Display the first line that begins with user-group in the running configuration and all the following
lines.
<Sysname> display current-configuration | by-linenum begin user-group
114: user-group system
115- #
116- return
13
Saving the running configuration
To make your configuration take effect after a reboot, save the running configuration to a
configuration file by using the save command in any view. This command saves all commands that
have been successfully executed, except for the one-time commands. Typical one-time commands
include display commands used for displaying information and reset commands used for clearing
information.
For more information about the save command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.
