CLI Help Features
CLI provides context sensitive help. Two types of context sensitive help are supported:
• Partial Help, page 1-10
• Argument Help, page 1-10
Partial Help
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string, enter the abbreviated command
entry immediately followed by a question mark (?). This form of help is called partial help, because it
lists only the keywords or arguments that begin with the abbreviation you entered.
Example:
The following example illustrates how typing c? displays all available arguments that start with the letter
c.
SCE(config)#snmp-server c?
Community contact
SCE(config)#snmp-server c
Argument Help
To obtain a list of command’s associated keywords or parameters, type a question mark (?) in place of a
keyword or parameter on the command line.
Note that if <Enter> is acceptable input, the symbol <cr> represents the Enter key.
Example:
The following example illustrates how to get a list of all arguments or keywords expected after the
command snmp-server.
SCE(config)#snmp-server ?
community Define community string
contact Set system contact
enable Enable the SNMP agent
host Set traps destination
interface Set interface parameters
SCE(config)# snmp-server
When asking for help on particular parameter, the system informs you of the type of data that is an
accepted legal value. The types of parameters supported are:
STRING: When a String is expected, you can enter any set of characters or digits. If the string
has a space as one of its characters, use double-quote (“) marks to enclose the string.
DECIMAL: Any decimal number. Positive number is assumed, for negative numbers use the “–”
symbol.
HEX: A hexadecimal number; must start with either 0x or 0X.
