All commands support help by typing Tab or ”?” to help the user understand the command and its parameters. Tab and ”?” can be used at any level of the command and will show the next possible input command or sub-command. If you have problems using the command line, you can use the help function to get help without having to remember a lot of complicated commands. When you enter a command, press the Tab key, the system will list the set of keywords that can be matched; enter ”? , the system will give the corresponding keyword hint or explanation of the meaning of the parameter. Example:

sonic# show <tab>
acl      arp         counters      history         image            interface        link-aggregation
