Autocompletion
Autocompletion assists in typing LAMP commands and their arguments. Press <TAB> to autocomplete.
If multiple completion options exist, pressing <TAB> once may not complete the command. In such cases, press <TAB><TAB> to display the list of available options.
device
LAMP supports autocompletion for device command with device names from the list of loaded devices.
The example below illustrates the list of available completions when two devices, ‘host1’ and ‘host2’,
are loaded in the shell. This could be observed by pressing <TAB><TAB> after typing device host:
(lamp-host1) device host
host1 host2
testbed & replay
LAMP supports YAML filepath autocompletion for testbed load, testbed save & replay commands.
Only ‘.yaml’ files & directories will be listed.
(lamp-host1) testbed load testbeds/ios/
ios_testbed.yaml pnp-info/ pnp-tech/
(lamp-host1) testbed load testbeds/ios/
LAMP autocompletes device names for testbed remove similar to the device command:
(lamp-host1) testbed remove host
host1 host2
api
LAMP supports both name-wise and module-wise autocompletion for the api command.
Name-wise autocompletion
Name-wise autocompletion lists all API’s that begin with a given prefix string.
The example below lists all API’s that start with ‘get_vrf’ when <TAB><TAB> is pressed:
(lamp-host1) api get_vrf_
get_vrf_interface get_vrf_route_distinguisher get_vrf_route_targets get_vrf_vrfs
(lamp-host1) api get_vrf_
Module-wise autocompletion
Module-wise autocompletion helps autocomplete module names, submodule names within a module, and all API names under a specific module and submodule.
The example below demonstrates autocompletion of module names starting with ‘v’ when pressing <TAB><TAB> (An underscore character ‘_’ is used to separate module names from API names):
(lamp-host1) api _v
vdsl verify version vlan vpdn vpn vrf
The next example demonstrates autocompletion of submodule names within the ‘_vrf’ module when pressing <TAB><TAB>:
(lamp-host1) api _vrf
configure get verify
The final example demonstrates the autocompletion of all APIs under the ‘vrf’ module and ‘configure’ submodule when pressing <TAB><TAB>:
(lamp-host2) api _vrf configure

parse
LAMP provides command autocompletion using the available list of parsers. Symbols enclosed in curly braces (e.g., {protocol} and {route} in the example below) are placeholders for the actual values that need to be provided by the user.
(lamp-host1) parse show ip route
summary supernets-only vrf {protocol} {route}
(lamp-host1) parse show ip route
execute
For execute command, LAMP does command autocompletion at device’s exec shell by
transmitting and receiving the ‘?’ symbol using ‘Unicon’ API’s.
Autocompletion list for the command execute show ip:
(lamp-leaf2) execute show ip
COMMAND Description
==========================================================================
access-lists List IP access lists

admission Network Admission Control information
aliases IP alias table
amt Show AMT protocol parameters

as-path-access-list List AS path access lists
bgp BGP information

dns Show DNS information
eigrp Show IPv4 EIGRP
explicit-paths Show IP explicit paths
extcommunity-list List extended-community list
helper-address helper-address table
host-list Host list
<TRUNCATED>
Note
Sending ‘?’ to the device takes time to receive a response & hence displaying the autocompletion results might be delayed. It is recommended to avoid pressing <TAB> if the device is connected over a slow network or is located far away from the server running LAMP.
configure
Autocompletion for CLI are available in ‘config-prompt’ mode:
leaf2(config)# ip pim
