Getting Help
You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.
For a list of available commands, type the question mark:
Switch> ?
To complete a command, type a few known characters followed by the question mark (with no space):
Switch> s?
For a list of command variables, type the command followed by a space and a question mark:
Switch> show ?
To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the up arrow key. Continue to press the up arrow key for more commands.
Understanding Command Modes
You use many different command modes when you configure the ATM switch router. Each command mode restricts you to a subset of commands.
In the following example, notice how the prompt changes after each command to indicate a new command mode:
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# line vty 1 4
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
