DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch CLI Manual
Figure 2–3 Example Command Parameter Help
In this case, the command config account was entered with the parameter <username>. The CLI will then
prompt to enter the <username> with the message, command: config account. Every command in the
CLI has this feature, and complex commands have several layers of parameter prompting.
In addition, after typing any given command plus one space, users can see all of the next possible sub-
commands, in sequential order, by pressing the ? key.
To re-enter the previous command at the command prompt, press the up arrow cursor key. The previous
command appears at the command prompt.
Figure 2–4 Using the Up Arrow to Re-enter a Command
In the above example, the command config account was entered without the required parameter
<username>, the CLI returned the command: config account 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. The < > can
also indicate a word with a number for character allowed.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands are displayed under
the Available commands: prompt.
