Takeaways

• ❓ The help command in Cisco IOS is accessed by using the question mark (?).
• 🔐 The help command is context-sensitive, providing different outputs based on the mode you're in (user exec mode vs. privileged exec mode vs. global configuration mode).
• 📋 Typing a question mark in user exec mode returns a list of available commands in that mode.
• 🔑 After entering privileged exec mode with 'enable', a question mark reveals the commands available in that mode.
• ⏯️ Pressing the space bar provides the next page of output for the list of commands.
• 🌐 In global configuration mode, a question mark reveals a different set of commands available for configuration.
• 🔍 Partial command input followed by a question mark helps complete the command (e.g., 'interface ?').
• 🔗 After knowing the command is 'interface', adding a space and a question mark suggests the next parameter or argument required.
• 🚫 The command syntax Checker alerts you to invalid inputs, such as typing '33' instead of 'VLAN' or 'range'.
• 🔄 If a command is ambiguous (like typing just 'i'), the help command lists possible commands that match the input.
• 🛠️ If a command is incomplete (like 'interface' without parameters), the help command provides the next set of options needed to complete it.
