Getting Command Help

The following sections describe how to display the following types of command help:

• Available commands

Displaying Command Lists

The commands you can use to manage the switch are determined by your user name, which is configured

for a particular access level. User names and access levels are described in more detail in “Configuring

User Access,” which appears later in this chapter. To display a list of all the commands available to the

username you used at log in, enter the help command as follows:

mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > help

To display a list of commands that include a common set of characters, enter a question mark and the

common set of characters, as shown in the following example:

mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > ? ip
