Asante Technologies 3624/48 user manual Using CLI Command History

Generally, uppercase letters represent variables. For example, after entering a command, such as hostname, and using a space and a question mark, you will be prompted for the new name, represented by WORD. In cases where an IP address is the variable, the uppercase letters A.B.C.D will represent it.

Switch(config)# network parms ?

A.B.C.D Enter IP address of the switch

In the following access list example, seven further options are listed after the question mark. Note that what is typed so far is preserved after the display.

	recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively
	older commands.
