The X family
Command Line Interface offers the following features:
• Command Types
• Hierarchical Submenus
• Command Hints
• Command Completion
• Command Help
• Command Aliases
Each of these features is described below.
Command Types
The CLI has two types of commands.
• Global commands: Available from within any menu level in the CLI. Global commands do not
report on or change configuration items.
• Hierarchal commands: Available only within a menu or submenu.
Hierarchical Submenus
The CLI divides commands into functional areas. There are several commands that lead to submenus,
including boot, configure terminal, and show.
Context Sensitive Prompt
The X family device prompt indicates what menu level you are currently using. The top-level menu
prompt is:
hostname#
When you enter a submenu, the prompt indicates the current menu level in parentheses. For example,
entering the boot command changes the CLI prompt to:
hostname(boot)#
Exiting Submenus
The exit command steps back to the previous menu, or up one submenu. The exit all command
returns you to the hostname# menu level.
