CLI Basics

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 ->

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
