Cannot abbreviate 'eigrp router-id' command...

[mmanthe]

Just a curiosity. Is anyone else unable to abbreviate the 'eigrp router-id' command? Whether I'm configuring classic or named mode, I cannot abbreviate that command - even though there are literally *no* other matching commands! I should technically be able to enter:

ei r 5.5.5.5

for example - but no matter what, I must enter the *entire* 'router-id' syntax to get the command to take. So, technically I can abbreviate the 'eigrp' part. I find this to be true across all 15.x versions I've tried it on. Obviously not anything important at all - just something that bugs me ;-)

Does anyone know why this is the case?

example from my lab:

R8_hwr2(config-router-af)#e?
eigrp exit-address-family

R8_hwr2(config-router-af)#ei ?
log-neighbor-changes Enable/Disable EIGRP neighbor logging
log-neighbor-warnings Enable/Disable EIGRP neighbor warnings
router-id router id for this EIGRP process
stub Set address-family in stubbed mode

R8_hwr2(config-router-af)#ei r ?
% Unrecognized command

Hello,

It might be a bug on that specific version/platform.

Works for me on IOSv 15.6

ADP(config-router-af)#ei r?        
router-id  

Cheers,

ADP

Thanks. I have a combination of ISR 2850s, 2811s, Cat 3750s and CSR 1000v in my lab running code ranging from 15.1x to 15.3x. So if it was a bug, it certainly seemed to persist across several platforms for several iterations of code.

Hello,

curious. I am using 15.6(2) in GNS3 and get the same error:

R1(config-router-af)#ei r 5.5.5.5
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Does this actually work in 16.x ?
