Prefix Prompt

You can set the CLI to display the current command prefix as the command prompt by entering the following command:

-> prompt prefix

After entering this command, your command prompt will include current stored prefix information until a new prompt is specified. For example, the following is a prompt for a user who has begun configuring VLAN 32:

-> vlan 32

To set the prompt back to the default arrow ( ->), enter the following syntax, exactly as shown, at the prefix prompt:

prompt string ->

Command History

You can view a list of up to 30 of the most recently executed commands via the show history command. For example:

-> show history 1 show cmm

2 show fan

3 show sensor

4 show temperature

5 ip load dvmrp

6 show arp

7 show cmm

8 show fan

9 show sensor

10 show temperature

11 ip load dvmrp

12 show arp

13 show history

Note that the most recent commands are displayed lower in the list. For this reason, the show history command will always be listed last.

You can recall commands from the history list by entering an exclamation point ( ! ). For example:

-> !4

-> show temperature

The CLI prints the fourth command from the history list (in this case, show temperature) at the CLI prompt.

You can also recall the last command in the history list by entering two exclamation points ( !! ). For example:

-> !!

-> show history

To specify the number of commands displayed in the history list (1 - 30), use the history size command. For example:

-> history size 10

To view the current history list settings, use the show history parameters command. For example:

-> show history parameters History size: 30 CurrentSize: 10

Index Range: 1-10
