xStack® DGS-3420 Series Layer 2 Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch CLI Reference Guide
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username>
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#
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, users can see all of the next possible
sub-commands, 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.
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username 15>
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#
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 username 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.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands will be displayed
under the Available commands: prompt.
