If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands will be displayed under the Available commands: prompt.

Figure 2-5. The Available Commands Prompt

The top-level commands consist of commands such as show or config. Most of these commands require one or more parameters to narrow the top-level command. This is equivalent to show what? or config what? Where the what? is the next parameter.

For example, if you enter the show command with no additional parameters, the CLI will then display all of the possible next parameters.

Figure 2-6. Next possible completions: Show Command

In the above example, all of the possible next parameters for the show command are displayed. At the next command prompt, the up arrow was used to re-enter the show command, followed by the account parameter. The CLI then displays the user accounts configured on the Switch.
