Junos OS

Hi

what is different between Tab and Spacbar key used to complete the command in Junos ?

thx

Sam

The space will auto-complete actual commands.  Tab will also auto-compelte actual commands in additional to variable names such as firewall filter names or policy option names.

could you give me one example for this different by typing the command ?

Let's say you have a routing-instance named rte-inst-1

When you decide to edit it you would type:

user@host# edit routing-instances rte-inst-1

As you type you could use either the Tab Key or the Space Bar to complete the entering in of the command <edit> and the command <routing-instances>

You could complete the entering in the the instance name <rte-inst-1> using the Tab Key. So typing in r<Tab Key> would fill in the rest of the characters for you. As was said in the prior post: Tab handles commands and variables, Space Bar commands only.

Hope that helps explain 🙂

Hey Kevin,

thank you so much. so I should use Tab more than Space Bar.

regards,

Sam
