Using the CLI

Table 2-1. History Buffer

By default, the history buffer system is enabled, but it can be disabled at any

time. The standard number of 10 stored commands can be increased to 216.

By configuring 0, the effect is the same as disabling the history buffer system.

For information about the command syntax for configuring the command

history buffer, see the history size command on page 1374 in the Line

command mode chapter of this guide.

Negating Commands

For many commands, the prefix keyword no is entered to cancel the effect of

a command or reset the configuration to the default value. All configuration

commands have this capability. This guide describes the negation effect for

all commands to which it applies.

Show Command

The show command executes in the User Executive (EXEC) and Privileged

Executive (EXEC) modes.

Command Completion

CLI can complete partially entered commands when the user presses the

<tab> or <space> key. If a command entered is not complete, is not valid,

or if some parameters of the command are not valid or missing, an error

message is displayed to assist in entering the correct command. By pressing

the <tab> key, an incomplete command is changed into a complete

command. If the characters already entered are not enough for the system to

identify a single matching command, the <?>key displays the available

commands matching the characters already entered.

Keyword

Source or Destination

Up-arrow key

most recent command. Repeats the key sequence to recall

successively older commands.

Down-arrow key
<Ctrl>+<N>

Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after

recalling commands with the up-arrow key. Repeating the key

sequence recalls more recent commands in succession.
