Finding or completing a command

Procedure

Type one or more consecutive characters of a command and then press
[Tab] (with no spaces allowed) to find a CLI command or to quickly complete a CLI command name. The CLI completes the current command name, including hyphenated extensions, if you have typed enough characters for the CLI to distinguish it from other possibilities.
The following example shows the result when you press
[Tab] immediately after typing “t” at the Global Configuration level. The CLI displays the available command options that begin with “t”.
```
switch(config)# t
 tacacs-server
 telnet-server
 tftp
 time
 timesync
 trunk
 trunk-load-balance
 task-monitor
 telnet
 terminal
 test
 traceroute
 traceroute6
```
The following example shows the result when you press
[Tab] immediately after typing “port-”.
```
switch (config)# port-
switch (config)# port-security
```

The following example shows the result of pressing

[Tab] after a completed command word lists the further options for that command. In this example, entering

switch(config)# qos[Tab]

displays the following:
