How to get command help
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 recognise it. This
means the command does not exist, or that you have entered it in the wrong mode, as the
following output shows.
The AlliedWare Plus OS does not tell you when commands are successful. If it does not
display an error message, you can assume the command was successful.
