DGS-3120-24TC:admin#config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username 15>
DGS-3120-24TC:admin#
In this case, the command config account was entered with the parameter <username 15>. The
CLI will then prompt to enter the <username 15> 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-3120-24TC:admin#config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username 15>
DGS-3120-24TC:admin#config account
In the above example, the command config account was entered without the required parameter
<username 15>, the CLI returned the Next possible completions: <username 15> 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.
