Displaying the On-line Help
The command line interface has an on-line help system to assist you with
the commands. The help system is displayed by typing a question mark.
Typing a question mark at a command line prompt displays all the
keywords in the current mode. This example displays all the keywords in
the VLAN Configuration mode.
Figure 28. Displaying the Keywords of a Mode
Typing a question mark after a keyword displays any additional keywords
or parameters. This example displays the available parameters for the
FLOWCONTROL command in the Port Interface mode.
Figure 29. Displaying Subsequent Keywords of a Keyword
Note
You must type a space between the keyword and the question mark.
Otherwise, the on-line help system simply displays the previous
keyword.
Typing a question mark at the point in a command where a value is
required displays a value’s class (that is, integer, string, etc.). The example
in Figure 30 on page 90 displays the class of the value for the
HOSTNAME command in the Global Configuration mode.
