In the above example, the command
config account
was entered without the required parameter
<username>
, the CLI returned the
Next possible completions: <username>
prompt. The up arrow cursor
control key was pressed to re-enter the previous command (
config account
) at the command prompt. Now
the appropriate username can be entered and the
config account
command re-executed.
All commands in the CLI function in this way. In addition, the syntax of the help prompts are the same as
presented in this manual
−
angle brackets < > indicate a numerical value or character string, braces { }
indicate optional parameters 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

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