If you press "?" after a space character and "" is shown, this means that what you have entered so far is a complete command, and that you may press Enter (carriage return) to execute it. Try the following to get started: ? show ? show c? show clock? show clock ? show interfaces ? (from enable mode) You can also enter "help" to view a description of the interactive help system. Note also that the CLI supports command and/or parameter tab-completions and their shortened forms. For example, you can enter "en" instead of the "enable" command, or "cli cl" instead of "cli clear-history". In case of ambiguity (more than one completion option is available, that is), then you can hit double tabs to obtain the disambiguation options. Thus, if you are in Enable mode and wish to learn which commands start with the letter "c", type "c" and click twice on the tab key to get the following: switch # c clear cli switch # c configure (There are three commands that start with the letter "c": clear, cli and configure.) 3.1.4 Prompt and Response Conventions The prompt always begins with the hostname of the system. What follows depends on what command mode the user is in. To demonstrate by example, assuming the machine name is "switch", the prompts for each of the modes are: switch > switch # switch (config) # (Standard mode) (Enable mode) (Config mode) Mellanox Technologies 26 Mellanox Technologies Confidential

If you type a legal string and then press “?”
without
a space character before it, then you will
either get a description of the command that you have typed so far or the possible command/
parameter completions. If you press “?”
after
a space character and “<cr>” is shown, this means
that what you have entered so far is a complete command, and that you may press Enter (carriage
return) to execute it.
Try the following to get started:
?
show ?
show c?
show clock?
show clock ?
show interfaces ?
(from enable mode)
You can also enter “help” to view a description of the interactive help system.
Note also that the CLI supports command and/or parameter tab-completions and their shortened
forms. For example, you can enter “en” instead of the “enable” command, or “cli cl” instead of
“cli clear-history”. In case of ambiguity (more than one completion option is available, that is),
then you can hit double tabs to obtain the disambiguation options. Thus, if you are in Enable
mode and wish to learn which commands start with the letter “c”, type “c” and click twice on the
tab key to get the following:
switch # c<tab>
clear
cli
configure
switch # c
(There are three commands that start with the letter “c”:
clear
,
cli
and
configure
.)

switch #
(Enable mode)
switch (config) #
