The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command
modes supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not available until you
switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode commands. You can execute
the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
To display the commands available in the current mode, enter a question mark (?) at the command
prompt. To display the available command keywords or parameters, enter a question mark (?) after
each word you type at the command prompt. If there are no additional command keywords or
parameters, or if additional parameters are optional, the following message appears in the output:
<cr> Press Enter to execute the command
