In the previous video, we already learn about basic command in cisco. 2
Next in this video, I will show you that command in cisco can be shortened. 3
For example, the command enable can be shortened to en like this. So 4
we don’t need to type the complete command. 5
Okay let’s just try it. Let’s open the router. Here let’s back to the user mode. 6
And then type en. Type the password, 7
and okay here we can see that we have successfully go to privilege mode. 8
Let’s try to exit again. May be some of you have a question, can I shortened 9
the enable command become just e? Let’s try it. Okay here we get an error ambiguous command. 10
Now let’s try e and then question mark. 11
Here we can see that there is 2 command that started by e, which is enable and exit. 12
This is why we get an error ambiguous command. But if we type en and question mark, here we 13
can see that the possible command is only enable. So we can shortened the enable command become en. 14
Next let’s try to shortened configure terminal. Here I type co and then question mark. 15
Here we can see that we still have more than 1 possible command, which is 3 command. Now let’s 16
try con and then question mark. Here we have 2 possible command, Next let’s try conf and then 17
question mark. Here we can see that now we only have 1 possible command, which is configure. 18
Space, and then here I type t and question mark. Here the only command that started by 19
t is only terminal. Okay so this is the shortened command of configure terminal. 20
Let’s enter it. Okay here we can see that we are successful to enter global configuration mode. 21
Now let’s try to exit from global configuration mode. Let’s type e and then question mark. 22
Okay here we can see many command that started with e. let’s try ex and then question mark. 23
Okay here we just have one command, which is exit, so this is enough. Let’s enter it. 24
Next, let’s try show running-config. Let’s type sh and then question mark. 25
Okay here we only have one command. And then let’s try r and then question mark. Okay here we also 26
have only one command, which is running-config, so, sh space r is enough for show running-config. 27
Okay now you are know about shortened command in cisco. But one thing that you need to know 28
is that command in the cisco packet tracer is much less than in the real device. So may be 29
some shortened command in cisco packet tracer is work, but in the real device is not work. 30
Here is some command shortened that I usually use. For enable the command is en, 31
exit is ex, configure terminal is conf t, and show running-config is show run. 32
Okay that is some shortened command that I usually use. Next, we are going to 33
learn about autocomplete. So, beside shortened command, we also can use autocomplete in cisco. 34
Here let’s type sh and then tab. So the command will be autocomplete become 35
show like this. And then let’s type run and then tab again. 36
Okay here the command is autocomplete become show running-config. 37
Okay that’s some feature of cisco that we can use to speed up the configuration process. 38
The first one is shortened command, and the second is autocomplete. 39
Okay I think enough for this video. Thankyou for watching and see you on the next video!
