Ambiguous Commands

If you enter part of a command, and that part is not unique, the console displays a numbered list of possible matching
commands. For example, entering
"pnnin." In response, the SmartCell 6A000 displays a list of the possible commands:
SmartCell ZX # show pnnin
Objects beginning with pnnin for action show
0 : PnniNeighbor
1 : PnniNetworkLink
2 : PnniNetworkNode
3 : PnniNode
4 : PnniNodeTimer
(#)Command (Q)uit? : 3
SmartCell ZX # show PnniNode
Selecting number three from the list automatically enters the corresponding command; pressing enter executes the
command:

Console Help

The console provides several levels of help for console commands. For example, to list the switch attributes that can
be used with a particular operator, enter the word
SmartCell ZX # help add
HELP ---- add
==============================================================================
add [ AlarmConfig | Alias | ATMRoute | BUSELAN | Community | ELAN |
Interface | IPATMClient | IPATMPVC | LANEClient | LECSELAN |
LECSELANLEC | LECSTLVSET | LESELAN | NetPrefix | PnniMetrics |

TrafficDescriptor | TrapCommunity ]
SmartCell ZX #
is ambiguous because there are several commands that start with
show pnnin
< "pnnin" is ambiguous
< I meant PnniNode, so I enter number three (3) from the list
(or ) followed by the operator.
