2.1.7 Getting Help with CLI Syntax
The SecureStack A2 switch allows you to display usage and syntax information for individual
commands by typing help or ? after the command.
2.1.7.1 Performing Keyword Lookups
Entering a space and a question mark (?) after a keyword will display all commands beginning with
the keyword. Figure 2-3 shows how to perform a keyword lookup for the show snmp command. In
this case, 4 additional keywords are used by the show snmp command. Entering a space and a
question mark (?) after any of these parameters (such as show snmp community) will display
additional parameters nested within the syntax.
Figure 2-3 Performing a Keyword Lookup
Entering a question mark (?) without a space after a partial keyword will display a list of commands
that begin with the partial keyword. Figure 2-4 shows how to use this function for all commands
beginning with co:

community SNMP v1/v2c community name configuration.
notify SNMP notify configuration
targetaddr SNMP target address configuration
targetparams SNMP target parameters configuration
A2(rw->co?

NOTE: At the end of the lookup display, the system will repeat the command you entered without
the ?.
