I typed in “cl?” and the CLI tells me that there are two commands that start with the letters “cl”. There's the “clear” command and the “clock” command.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 26 December 2016 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 11 January 2017. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Whenever I partially type a command I can use the ? to see my options.
Let's start with a simple example. We'll configure the clock on our switch so I can demonstrate how the CLI works:
If I want to return back to user mode I can do this.
That's it! We are now in privileged mode where we have full access to our device. You can recognize it because of the # symbol.
This is how we do it.
You can recognize it because of the > symbol. When you are in user mode you don't have full access to the device. What we want is privileged mode which is also known as enable mode.
Right now you are in user mode.
If you type yes and press enter it will walk you through a wizard where you can configure some basic settings. I'm going to skip it since we'll configure everything ourselves.
If the switch does not have a configuration, you'll see the following: —- System Configuration Dialog —- Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Once the switch is done you finally get to see this message: Press RETURN to get started!
And finally you'll see an overview of the hardware that this switch offers.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @learnnetworking. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
