quick CCENT exam ?

Hey guys, I was wondering. During the CCENT exam, when asked to configure/verify/troubleshoot on the CLI, will the "?" (help) always be available, or just some of the time?

Reason I ask is because there is a ton of commands and I doubt I can memorize the syntax of them all, but I should be able memorize how to at least get them all started.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the ? was always available for use when I took the exam. Same with the CCNA.

No problem. Not sure where you're at in Indiana, but I'm also a Hoosier. My company is looking to hire another helpdesk person soon. We're located in Mishawaka, down the road from Notre Dame University. Just a heads up.

The only thing I can add is, if the command you are looking for is grayed out, it means, you can't use it. Ken

Thanks for the heads up, I really appreciate it! I live in Lebanon, which is about 20 mins from Indy. Unfortunately, Mishawaka is pretty far from me, I think it would be like a 2 hour commute! If I lived closer, I would definitely give it a try.

Kind of related but not really, I told my 5 year old nephew the name of your city and now he is just running around yelling, "Waka Waka Waka!" lol.

Thank you shezy77 and Ken217a for your replies!

Some of the commands wont be usable even if it shows in the help.
But yeah you can type /?

The questions on there really didn't prompt me to use the ? but i did use TAB that was helpful.
