Navigating Through CLI Commands

To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the Up Arrow key. You can continue to press the
Up Arrow key to see more previously issued commands. Similarly, you can press the Down Arrow,
Right Arrow, Left Arrow, and Delete keys to navigate through the command history and to modify an
existing command string.

Getting Help

In any command mode, you can get a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).
switch# ?
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters
followed immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space.
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.
switch# config ?
terminal Configure the system from the terminal
If you are having trouble entering a command, check the system prompt and enter the question mark (?)
