Using Command History

The CLI automatically saves the commands recently used in the history command buffer. You can

access and execute them again.

Accessing History Commands

Follow a step below to access history commands:

To do…

Use the key/command…

Result

Display history commands

display history-command

Displays valid history commands you

used

Display the previous history

command

Up arrow key or Ctrl+P

Displays the previous history command,

if any

Display the next history

command

Down arrow key or Ctrl+N

Displays the next history command, if

any

You can use arrow keys to access history commands in Windows 200X and XP Terminal or Telnet.

However, the up and down arrow keys are invalid in Windows 9X HyperTerminal, because they are

defined differently. You can press Ctrl+P or Ctrl+N instead.

z

The commands saved in the history command buffer are in the same format in which you typed

the commands. If you type an incomplete command, the command saved in the history command

buffer is also an incomplete one.

z

If you execute the same command repeatedly, the switch saves only the earliest record. However,

if you execute the same command in different formats, the system saves them as different

commands. For example, if you execute the display cu command repeatedly, the system saves

only one command in the history command buffer. If you execute the command in the format of

display cu and display current-configuration respectively, the system saves them as two

commands.

z

By default, the CLI can save up to 10 commands for each user. To set the capacity of the history

command buffer for the current user interface, use the history-command max-size command.
