D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch CLI Reference
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 like 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.
