If an operator password has been set (see password in the global configuration section),
then the system would have displayed the following prompt before entering the operator
EXEC level:

Password:

You can enter the manager EXEC level from the operator EXEC level by using the enable
command. If a manager level password has been configured, then you will be prompted for
the manager password after executing the enable command.

1.4 The Command Line Interface

The new CLI will not be case sensitive. As a short cut, you can abbreviate commands and
keywords as long they contain enough letters to be distinguished from any other currently
available commands or keywords.
When the command text exceeds the length of the command line, the current command line
will scroll upwards, yet the cursor will shift to the first character on the last line on the
screen. This is opposed to shifting the command line horizontally each time the command
exceeds the number of characters that can be displayed at one time on the screen.
1.5 System Help

You can enter help or ? at a particular command level to see the commands available at that
level. You can enter a command followed by help or ? in order to get the system to display
the command description for that particular command. The command description would be
similar to what is presented for each command in the Command Reference section of this
document.
In order to see the list of possible word completions or to complete the current word, you
may use the Tab key immediately after the last letter of the last keyword on the command
line. For example, if the system was currently in the global configuration level and you typed
tab immediately after the t in step (1), the system would display the options seen in section
(2) and the system would return to the configuration level prompt with the partially
completed command line seen in (3):

(1)

HP 4108GL(config) t

(2)

trunk

trap

trap-send-authentication

telnet-server

(3)
