Ter min al Co mma nd Bu ffe r
Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally
managed Command History buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are maintained
on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis. These commands can be recalled, reviewed,
modified, and reissued. This buffer is not preserved across device resets.
By default, the history buffer system is enabled, but it can be disabled at any time.
For more information on enabling or disabling the history buffer, refer to the history
command.
There is a standard default number of commands that are stored in the buffer. The
standard number of 10 commands can be increased to 216. By configuring 0, the
effect is the same as disabling the history buffer system. For more information on
configuring the command history buffer, refer to the history size command.
To display the history buffer, refer to the show history command.

Negating the Effect of Commands

For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword no can be entered to
cancel the effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default value. This
Reference Guide provides a description of the negation effect for each CLI
command.
