the $(exec)> prompt is displayed on the screen.
The parsing process is initiated whenever the operator types a command and presses <ENTER>.
The command tree is searched for the command of interest. If the command is not found, the
output message indicates where the offending entry begins. For instance, command node A has the
command
"show arp brief"
then the output message would be
brief"
If the operator has given an invalid input parameter in the command, then the message
marker.
conveys to the operator an invalid input was detected. The layout of the output is depicted below:
(exec) #show arpp brief
%Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
