When users enter a command without its required parameters, the CLI will prompt users with a Next
possible completions: message.
DGS-3700-12:5#config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username>
DGS-3700-12:5#
In this case, the command config account was entered with the parameter <username>. The CLI will then
prompt users 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.
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.
