Figure 2-3. Example Command Parameter Help
In this case, the command config account was entered with the parameter <username>. The CLI will then prompt you 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.
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.
Figure 2-4. Using the Up Arrow to Re-enter a Command
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 User name 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.
