Configure the Stratix 5900 Services Router by Using CISCO IOS Command-line Interface (CLI)
Once in the configuration branch, you can enter system level configuration
commands that apply to the entire router at the global configuration level.
Interface specific configuration commands are available once you have switched
to the particular interface configuration level.
For more detailed information and examples on how to navigate through the IOS
CLI hierarchy see
Router Management on page 72
.
To assist you in navigating through IOS CLI, the command prompt changes to
reflect your position within the command hierarchy. This lets you identify where
within the command structure you are at any time.
This table describes a few command prompts and the corresponding location
within the command structure.
For more detailed information about command prompts, see

CLI Editor Features
The following are the basic features of the CLI editor.
Context Sensitive Help
The Cisco IOS CLI software provides you with context sensitive help. This is a
useful tool because at any time during an EXEC session, you can type a question
mark (?) to get help. Two types of context sensitive help are available - word help
and command syntax help.
Word Help
You can use word help to obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular
character sequence. To use word help, type in the characters in question followed
immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space before the question
mark. A list of commands that start with the characters that were entered appears.
