) at the command prompt. Now the appropriate username can be
entered and the
config account
command re-executed.

or a choice of parameters, and brackets [ ] indicate required parameters.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands will be displayed under the
Available commands:

The top-level commands consist of commands such as
show
or
config
. Most of these commands require one or
more parameters to narrow the top-level command. This is equivalent to
show
what?

what? Where the
what? is the next parameter.
For example, entering the
show
command with no additional parameters, the CLI will then display all of the possible
next parameters.
