In the above example, the command config account was entered without the required parameter <username>,
the CLI returned the command: config account prompt. The up arrow cursor control key was pressed to re-enter
the previous command (config account) at the command prompt. Now the appropriate username can be entered
and the config account command re-executed.
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
indicate a word with a number for character allowed.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands are displayed under the
Available commands: prompt.
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.
