Viewing Command Error Messages
The switch displays the following generic error messages about command input:
% Incomplete command—this message indicates that the command requires more
parameters. Use the ? help to find out what other parameters are available.
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker—this indicates that the switch could not process
the command you entered. The switch also prints the command and marks the first invalid
character by putting a '^' under it. Note that you may get this error if you enter a
command in the wrong mode, as the following output shows.
% Unrecognized command—when you try to use ? help and get this message, it
indicates that the switch can not provide help on the command because it does not
recognize it. This means the command does not exist, or that you have entered it in the
wrong mode, as the following output shows.
awplus# interface
% Incomplete command.
awplus# interface port1.0.1
interface port1.0.1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
awplus# interface ?
% Unrecognized command
Note
The AlliedWare Plus
TM
OS does not tell you when commands are successful. If it
does not display an error message, you can assume the command was
successful.
