User's Manual Part 2

Obtaining Help
CLI mode enables several ways for you to obtain help and list the available commands
in that mode for a specific keyword.
To obtain a list of keywords and a brief functional description of those keywords at any
CLI mode, do either of the following.
• Type help at the prompt
• Type ? at the prompt or after a keyword.
Figure 3 illustrated the output that appears when you type help at any modes prompt.
The output tells your how to use ? to get help.
MSR2000(config)# help
Azalea VTY provides advanced help feature. When you need help,
anytime at the command line please press '?'.
If nothing matches, the help list will be empty and you must backup until
entering a '?' shows the available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a command argument
(e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered and you
want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show me?'.)
