Obtaining Help

As soon as you are in a command mode there are several ways to access help.

To obtain a list of keywords at any command mode: Type a ? at the prompt or after a keyword. There must always be a space before the ?.
To obtain a list of keywords with a brief functional description: Type help at the prompt.
To obtain a list of available options: Type a keyword and then type a space and a ?.
To obtain a list of partial keywords using a partial keyword: Type a partial keyword and then type a ?.
Example

The following is an example of typing ip ? at the prompt:

Dell(conf)#ip ?
                                          igmp     Internet Group Management Protocol
                                          route    Establish static routes
                                          telnet   Specify telnet options
                                       
When entering commands, you can take advantage of the following timesaving features:
  • The commands are not case-sensitive.
  • You can enter partial (truncated) command keywords. For example, you can enter int tengig int for the interface tengigabitethernet interface command.
  • To complete keywords in commands, use the TAB key.
  • To display the last enabled command, use the up Arrow key.
  • To erase the previous character, use either the Backspace key or Delete key.
  • To navigate left or right in the Dell Networking OS command line, use the left and right Arrow keys.
The shortcut key combinations at the Dell Networking OS command line are as follows:
