corresponding management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the
device is connected to the device prior to using CLI commands.

2. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required

displaying the available commands, the command syntax requirements and in some
instances parameters required to complete the command. The standard command to
request help is ?.
