Using the CLI Command History Buffer

You can save a lot of typing by using the command history buffer maintained by the CLI. The up- and down-arrow keys scroll forward and backward through the history buffer. To execute a command again, simply scroll to that com- mand and press enter. Alternately, you can scroll to a command and then edit it inline before executing it. You can see a history of all the buffered commands by entering the history command. Any command in the history buffer can be accessed directly by entering ![#] where [#] is the number of the command in the buffer. Operation of the command history buffer is illustrated in the following example.
