Viewing command error messages

The switch displays the following generic error messages about command input:
% Incomplete command—this message indicates that the command requires more
parameters. Use the ? help to find out what other parameters are available.
% Incomplete command.
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker—this indicates that the switch could not process the
command you entered. The switch also prints the command and marks the first invalid
character by putting a '^' under it. Note that you may get this error if you enter a command in
the wrong mode, as the following output shows.
interface port1.0.1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
% Unrecognized command—when you try to use ? help and get this message, it indicates that
the switch can not provide help on the command because it does not recognize it. This means
the command does not exist, or that you have entered it in the wrong mode, as the following
output shows.
% Unrecognized command

The AlliedWare Plus OS does not tell you when commands are successful. If it does
not display an error message, you can assume the command was successful.
