Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 3 CLI overview
The saved history commands are the same as those entered by users. For example, if the
user enters an incomplete command, the saved command is also incomplete.
If the user runs the same command several times, the earliest command is saved. If the
command is entered in di^erent forms, each form is considered a di^erent command.
For example, if the display ip routing-table command is run several times, only one
history command is saved. If the display ip routing command and the display ip
routing-table command are run, two history commands are saved.
