Getting Help

On-line help may be obtained at any time by typing a question mark (?), or the word help on the command line or by pressing the F1 key. To obtain help for a specific command, type the command followed by a space and a question mark. Example: P130-N(super)>show?

Command Syntax

Commands are not case-sensitive. That is, uppercase and lowercase characters may be interchanged freely.

Command Abbreviations

All commands and parameters in the CLI can be truncated to an abbreviation of any length, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. For example, version can be abbreviated ver.

For ambiguous commands, type the beginning letters on the command line and then use the Tab key to toggle through all the possible commands beginning with these letters.
