CLI Help Features
CLI provides context sensitive help. Two types of context sensitive help are supported:
•
•
Partial Help
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string, enter the abbreviated command
entry immediately followed by a question mark (?). This form of help is called partial help, because it
lists only the keywords or arguments that begin with the abbreviation you entered.
Example:
The following example illustrates how typing
c?
displays all available arguments that start with the letter
c.
SCE(config)#snmp-server c?
Communitycontact
SCE(config)#snmp-server c
Argument Help
To obtain a list of keywords or parameters associated with a command, type a question mark (?) in place
of a keyword or parameter on the command line.
Note that if <
Enter>
is acceptable input, the symbol <cr> represents the
Enter
key.
Example:
The following example illustrates how to get a list of all arguments or keywords expected after the
command
snmp-server
.
SCE(config)#snmp-server?
community Define community string
contact Set system contact
enable Enable the SNMP agent
host Set traps destination
interface Set interface parameters
SCE(config)# snmp-server
When asking for help on particular parameter, the system informs you of the type of data that is an
accepted legal value. The types of parameters supported are:
STRING
When a String is expected, you can enter any set of characters or digits. If the string has
a space as one of its characters, use double-quote (“) marks to enclose the string.
DECIMAL Any decimal number. Positive number is assumed, for negative numbers use the “–”
symbol.
HEX
A hexadecimal number; must start with either 0x or 0X.
