ACCESSING THE CLI HELP MENU
To view the top-level help, type help or ? at the system prompt. If you use the ?, the help is displayed as
soon as you type the ?—you don't need to press Enter.
SWI2210-XXXX# help
Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering
a question mark '?'. If nothing matches, the help list will
be empty and you must backup until entering a '?' shows the
available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a
command argument (e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible
argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
and you want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show pr?'.)
To view a list of commands available in a particular mode, change to the mode and then type ?. A list of
commands is displayed. (This example shows only the beginning of the list.)
