Getting Command Group Help
To find out the command groups that are available within the unit, enter a question mark at the
CLI prompt. The CLI displays a list of all of the available command groups and a short
explanation of each.
Example

Commands groups are:
-----------------------
console Console related commands
system System related commands
ip IP related commands
snmp SNMP related commands
switch-db Switching Database related commands
vlan Virtual LANS related commands

use ! for previous cmd, ^U to clear line, ^W to clear previous word
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Entering a group name from this list displays a list of the commands under that group.
Using Command Wildcards
The CLI allows you to use the question mark <?> as a wildcard when you are unsure of a
command. To use the wildcard, place the question mark immediately after the command you
are looking for.
NOTE: You can type all or just a portion of the command followed by the question mark and the
CLI returns all commands that start with that string.
