1.7 Input Values

You can use the ? or [TAB] to get more information about the next input value that is required for a command. In some cases, the next input value is a string whose length and allowable characters may not be displayed in the screen. For example, in the following example, the next input value is a string called <description>.

Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface ge1 Router(config-if-ge)# description <description>

The following table provides more information about input values like <description>.
