The built in help is very limited and you should not rely on it showing you anything useful.

The ? won't show a lot of the commands and options that you don't need for the SIM. And you won't see an option if Cisco doesn't want you to use it.

If you're using the question mark to remember a command or option and you don't see it, reread the question -- you may have missed a hint about answering the question using a different command or method.

I had a SIM that wouldn't let me enter a valid command. When I used the ? it didn't show me the option. So I just accomplished the task using the "other way." I was annoyed, but since there were 2 ways of accomplishing the task -- and both were prominently mentioned in the Cisco Press books -- I decided that they were testing to see if I knew there were 2 ways to do it.

If you can't complete the SIM because the command is missing, and you can't think of another way, then hope it's a "ungraded question" that Cisco is "beta testing" and leave a comment telling them what command you thought was missing.

Good Luck

The syntax help can 99% of the time help you do a lab that you otherwise might not remember how to do because like Mike said, it usually rules out most of the "wrong" commands and only gives you stuff that you need to complete the task.

Thanks very much guys!Things are clearer now.Maybe Cisco is right in some way.If you want to be a CCNP,you should know how to redistribute routing protocols with option.
