the choices for completing that command string.
NOTE Information displayed depends upon if you log in as a guest, administrative, or unrestricted
user. All choices and information are displayed to the unrestricted user, whereas less is
displayed to the administrative user because the administrative user is not allowed to perform
certain tasks, like configuring the Ethernet Management or management-IB ports. The guest
user is shown the least because the guest user is only allowed to view a small portion of the
configuration. Most of the examples shown throughout this book are done as an unrestricted
user.
You may enter just enough of each command or argument to make it uniquely identifiable, followed by a
space and a question mark to display the arguments and keywords you need to continue the command line.
For example:
HP-IB(config)# i? <-- display all keywords that start with “i”
Configure Commands:
ib - IB subnet manager configuration
ib-agent - Configure IB agent settings
interface - Select an interface to configure
ip - Global IP configuration subcommands
HP-IB(config)# in? <-- display all keywords that start with “in”
interface <-- only 1 keyword starts with “in”
HP-IB(config)# in ? <-- display the arguments to “interface”
ethernet - Configure Ethernet interfaces
fc - Configure Fibre Channel interfaces
gateway - Configure Gateway settings
ib - Configure InfiniBand interfaces
mgmt-ethernet - Configure Ethernet Management port
