If there are no additional command keywords or parameters, or if additional parameters are
optional, the following message appears in the output:
<cr> Press Enter to execute the command
You can also enter a question mark (?) after typing one or more characters of a word to list the
available command or parameters that begin with the letters, as shown in the following example:
(switch) #show m?
mac-addr-table mac-address-table monitor
Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI by using a direct console connection or by using a telnet or SSH
connection from a remote management host.
For the initial connection, you must use a direct connection to the console port. You cannot access
the system remotely until the system has an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. You can
set the network configuration information manually, or you can configure the system to accept
these settings from a BOOTP or DHCP server on your network. For more information, see
“Network Interface Commands” on page 10-4.
