How to Find Command Options

This section provides an example of how to display syntax for a command. The syntax can consist of optional or required keywords. To display keywords for a command, enter a question mark (?) at the configuration prompt or after entering part of a command followed by a space. The Catalyst 6500 series SSL Services Module software displays a list of available keywords along with a brief description of the keywords. For example, if you are in global configuration mode and want to see all the keywords for the ssl-proxycommand, you enter ssl-proxy ?.
