The find command helps you find a command when you don't know where to start looking in the hierarchy. The command—which is available in all CLI modes—has two forms. Used alone, find command displays the entire command hierarchy. Used with the keyword parameter, find command keyword displays all commands that contain the specified keyword.

Navigate the CLI

CLI commands are organized in a hierarchical structure. To display a segment of the current hierarchy, use the show command. Entering show displays the complete hierarchy, while entering show with keywords displays a segment of the hierarchy.
For example, the following command displays the configuration hierarchy for the Ethernet interface segment of the hierarchy:
username@hostname>
			configure
			Entering configuration mode
			[edit]
			username@hostname#
			show network interface ethernet
			ethernet {
			  ethernet1/1 {
			    virtual-wire;
			  }
			  ethernet1/2 {
			      virtual-wire;
			  }
			  ethernet1/3 {
			    layer2 {
			      units {
			        ethernet1/3.1;
			      }
			    }
			  }
			  ethernet1/4;
			}
			[edit]
			username@hostname#
