Figure 2.2 Help Screen
Tree
You may view a tree that shows all CLI commands, or a tree that shows only the commands associated with the
current command mode (or the routing mode for example). Figure 2.3 shows two command tree examples. If you
type tree at the main (Foundry-AR1208# or equivalent) prompt, the entire list of system commands appears. If
you type tree within a command mode, such as Foundry-AR3201-CH/clear# tree, the commands associated with
this command mode are displayed.

prompt, the system command categories appear. Shows a display of these top-level commands.
