Figure 2–5 Available Commands 
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, entering 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 in the example, 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.
