The system follows these rules when buffering commands:
• Buffering a command in the exact format in which the command was entered. For example, if you
enter an incomplete command, the buffered command is also incomplete. If you enter a command
with a command keyword alias, the buffered command also uses the alias.
If you enter a command in the same format multiple times in succession, the system buffers the
•
command only once. If you enter a command in different formats multiple times, the system buffers
each command format. For example, display cu and display current-configuration are buffered as
two entries but successive repetitions of display cu create only one entry.
To buffer a new command when a buffer is full, the system deletes the oldest command entry in the
•
buffer.

Controlling the CLI output

This section describes the CLI output control features that help you identify the desired output.

Pausing between screens of output

The system automatically pauses after displaying a screen if the output is too long to fit on one screen.
You can use the keys described in
display.
By default, up to 24 lines can be displayed on a screen. You can change the limit by using the
screen-length screen-length command. For more information about this command, see Fundamentals
Command Reference.
You can also disable pausing between screens of output for the current session. Then, all output is
displayed at one time and the screen is refreshed continuously until the final screen is displayed.
Command history buffer for a user line
Use the display history-command command.
•
In Windows 200x or Windows XP
HyperTerminal or Telnet, use the up or
down arrow key (↑ or ↓) to navigate to a
command in the buffer and press Enter to
execute the command again.
•
In Windows 9x HyperTerminal, use Ctrl+P
and Ctrl+N to do so.
Use the history-command max-size
size-value command in user line view to set
the buffer size.
By default, the buffer can store up to 10
commands.
Setting the buffer size to 0 disables the
buffer.
