Using Commands
You can configure the CLI to function in two ways: configure it interactively by entering commands at
the CLI prompt or create an ASCII file containing switch configuration information (use the CLI to edit
and activate the file).
Listing Commands and Syntax
In any command mode, you can obtain a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).
switch# ?
To see a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type those characters followed
by a question mark (?). Do not include a space before the question mark.
switch# co?
configure copy
To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space
before the question mark. This form of help is called command syntax help because it reminds you which
keywords or arguments are applicable based on the commands, keywords, and arguments you have
already entered.
