Using Command History
The software provides a history or record of commands that you have entered. The command history
feature is particularly useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries, including access lists.
You can customize this feature to suit your needs as described in these sections:
• Changing the Command History Buffer Size, page 2-5 (optional)
• Recalling Commands, page 2-6 (optional)
• Disabling the Command History Feature, page 2-6 (optional)

Changing the Command History Buffer Size

By default, the switch records ten command lines in its history buffer. You can alter this number for a
current terminal session or for all sessions on a particular line. These procedures are optional.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to change the number of command lines that
the switch records during the current terminal session:
Switch# terminal history [size
number-of-lines
]
The range is from 0 to 256.
Beginning in line configuration mode, enter this command to configure the number of command lines
the switch records for all sessions on a particular line:
Switch(config-line)# history [size
number-of-lines
]
The range is from 0 to 256.
