Configuring The History Buffer Size; Controlling The Cli Display; Multi-Screen Display - HP A-F1000-E Getting Started Manual

The commands saved in the history command buffer are in the same format in which you typed the
•
commands. If you type an incomplete command, the command saved in the history command
buffer is also an incomplete one.
• If you execute the same command repeatedly, the switch saves only the earliest record. However, if
you execute the same command in different formats, the system saves them as different commands.
For example, if you execute the display cu command repeatedly, the system saves only one
command in the history command buffer. If you execute the command in the format of display cu
and display current-configuration respectively, the system saves them as two commands.
By default, the CLI can save up to 10 commands for each user. To set the capacity of the history
•
command buffer for the current user interface, use the history-command max-size command. (For
more information about the history-command max-size command, see Getting Started Guide
Command Reference.
