4.11 Invoking CLI Help and Auto completion
The FibeAir 70 CLI assists the User both actively and passively, using the following means:
• The User can explicitly request syntax help on the command line.
• The User can explicitly request auto completion assistance on the command line.
• The CLI command interpreter always checks the validity and completeness of a
string that is entered on the command line.
− When a command is determined to be invalid, the CLI responds with a
help message to assist the User. If possible, the command interpreter will
derive the intended command from the User’s initial entry and will
explain the syntax of the command and the range of allowed values.
− When a command is determined to be incomplete (for example, if a
required object or attribute is missing), the CLI responds with a choice of
variants that represent the possible values, based on the User’s initial
entry.
The following summarizes the ways to invoke CLI help and auto completion features:
Feature Description
Help <string>
Returns a help line for the requested command and object. For example:
FA-70> help set vlan xxx
Will return:
FA-70> set vlan <comp-id-list> <vid-list> [fdb-id
<fdbid>] [egress <bridge-ports>] [untagged <bridge-
ports>] where <bridge-ports> are port names or none
fdbid in range 1..64 and relevant for s-vlans only
<string> ?
Returns a detailed list of commands that begin with a particular character
string. For example:
FA-70> set vlan?
Will return:
FA-70> set vlan <comp-id-list> <vid-list> [fdb-id
<fdbid>] [egress <bridge ports>] [untagged <bridge
ports>] where <bridge ports> are port names or none
fdbid in range 1..64 and relevant for s-vlans only
Following printout, the CLI will prompt the User with the command that
was input:
FA-70> set vlan xxx
