You can recall commands shown in the history list by using the exclamation point character (!) also called
"bang". To recall the command shown in the history list at number 4, enter !4 (bang, 4). The CLI responds

History size: 30

• History Size: The number of commands the switch will save for display by the
command.
• Current Size: The number of commands currently saved by the switch, ready for display by the
show history command.
• Index Range: This value indicates the index range of the commands for this CLI session currently
stored in the history buffer.
In the above example, the switch is set to display 30 commands. However, when the show history
parameters command was issued, only ten commands had yet been issued. Since only ten commands had
been issued during the current login session, the index range shows 1 to 10. This is because the commands
in the buffer are the first through the tenth commands issued during the current login session.
