•To display all commands available in a context type a question mark.
•To display all commands starting with a certain string, type the first few letters followed by a question mark.
•To get help containing all commands parameters with their legal values as well as its syntax and an example:
—type a question mark at the end of command or at the stage where it is unique, or
—type "help" followed by the command
•Use the Tab key to complete an unambiguous command.
Command Line Prompt
Four factors affect the command line prompt:
•Host name of the CLI entity - the host name is used as the prefix of the command prompt (refer to hostname command on page 29 for the Switch CLI entity; refer to hostname command on page 30 for the Router CLI entity).
•Module Number - counting from the top and used as part of the prefix. In this document the Module number in the prompt is generic and is represented by “N”.
•Security level - used as the suffix of the prompt (Refer to Security Level on page 9.)
•Application context - used as body of the prompt, this part is not mandatory.
Example:
Host name of the router is London
Router is module number three
Application context is OSPF
