DES-3000 Series Layer 2 Switch CLI Reference Manual
All commands in the CLI function in this way. In addition, the syntax of the help prompts are the same as presented in this
manual − angle brackets < > indicate a numerical value or character string, braces { } indicate optional parameters or a choice of
parameters, and brackets [ ] indicate required parameters.
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 Next 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.
