CLI Help Features

CLI provides context sensitive help. Two types of context sensitive help are supported:
•
•
Partial Help
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string, enter the abbreviated command
entry immediately followed by a question mark (?). This form of help is called partial help, because it
lists only the keywords or arguments that begin with the abbreviation you entered.
Example:
The following example illustrates how typing c? displays all available arguments that start with the letter
c.
SCE(config)#snmp-server c?
Communitycontact
SCE(config)#snmp-server c
Argument Help
To obtain a list of keywords or parameters associated with a command, type a question mark (?) in place
of a keyword or parameter on the command line.
Note that if <Enter> is acceptable input, the symbol <cr> represents the Enter key.
Example:
The following example illustrates how to get a list of all arguments or keywords expected after the
command snmp-server.
SCE(config)#snmp-server?
community Define community string
contact Set system contact
enable Enable the SNMP agent
host Set traps destination
interface Set interface parameters
SCE(config)# snmp-server
