Getting Command Help; Displaying Command Lists - Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) Configuration Manual

Getting Command Help

In the example above, dspc is entered at an AUSM card prompt. Because there are several possible
commands that start with dspc, the switch lists all supported commands that start with those letters.
AUSM cards are older cards. Newer cards such as the PXM45 produce a different display for the same
scenario:
M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > dspc
ERR: ambiguous command: "dspc"
For newer cards, you can display a list of commands that start with the same prefix by entering the
command as follows:
M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > ? dspc
Type <CR> to continue, Q<CR> to stop:
Whenever the switch displays an error message, be sure to check the spelling of the command, the
parameters entered with the command, and the prompt at which the command was entered.
