| 2.2.8 | Router command history |
The user interface provides a history or
record of commands that have been entered. This feature is
particularly useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries.
With the command history feature, the following tasks may be
completed:
The command history is enabled by
default and the system records ten command lines in its history
buffer. To change the number of command lines the system records
during a terminal session, use the
terminal history size
or the
history size
command. To recall commands in the history buffer beginning with the most recent command, press Ctrl-P or the up arrow key repeatedly to recall successively older commands. To return to more recent commands in the history buffer, after recalling commands with Ctrl-P or the up arrow, press Ctrl-N or the down arrow key repeatedly to recall successively more recent commands. When typing commands, as a shortcut, the unique characters may be entered for a command. Press the Tab key, and the interface will finish the entry. When the typed letters uniquely identify the command, the Tab key simply acknowledges visually that the router has understood the specific command that was intended. On most computers additional select and copy functions are available. A previous command string may be copied and then pasted or inserted as the current command entry.
