Getting Help

Getting Help

You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also obtain a list of associated keywords and arguments for any command, as shown in Table 6-2.

Table 6-2 Help Summary

Command

Purpose

For example:

 

 

br# di?

 

 

dir disable disconnect

 

 

abbreviated-command-entry<Tab>

Completes a partial command name.

 

For example:

 

 

br# sh conf<tab>

 

br# show configuration

command keyword ?

Lists the associated arguments for a keyword.

 

For example:

 

 

br(config)#

cdp holdtime ?

 

<10-255>

Abbreviating Commands

You have to enter only enough characters for the access point/bridge to recognize the command as unique. This example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command:

br# show conf

Using no and default Forms of Commands

Most configuration commands also have a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.
