Help Command
The help or ? command shows a list of main CLI commands available for
the current mode. This is helpful when you are not familiar with the CLI
commands.
The help command syntax under the administrator mode is:
#
help
OR
#
?
The help command syntax under the configuration mode is:
config:#
help
OR
config:#
?
Press Enter after typing the command, and a list of main commands for
the current mode is displayed.
Tip: You can check what parameters are available for a specific CLI
command by adding a question mark to the end of the command. See
Querying Available Parameters for a Command (on page 326).
Showing Information
You can use the show commands to view current settings or status of
the EMX device or part of it, such as the IP address, networking mode,
firmware version, and so on.
Some "show" commands have two formats: one with the parameter
"details" and the other without. The difference is that the command
without the parameter "details" displays a shortened version of
information while the other displays in-depth information.
After typing a "show" command, press Enter to execute it.
Note: Depending on your login name, the # prompt may be replaced by
the > prompt. See Different CLI Modes and Prompts (on page 215).
