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, Next possible completions:. 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, all of the next possible sub-commands can be viewed, in sequential
order, by repeatedly pressing the Tab key.
To re-enter the previous command at the command prompt, press the up arrow cursor key. The previous command will appear 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 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 User name 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.
