cliHistory

Displays switch command history.

SYNOPSIS clihistory

DESCRIPTION This command saves the following information whenever a command is executed on the switch:

• Timestamp

• Username

• IP address of the Telnet session

• Options

• Arguments

This command displays the local CLI command history. The information is saved in the SSHOW_SYS file

as part of supportSave and in the CTRACE traceDump file, which is also included with the

supportSave package. In addition, the CLI history is saved persistently to compact flash in the event the

switch panics. The maximum number of saved entries for this command is 512.

The CLI history is erased, if the switch is rebooted or a CP failover has occurred on the active CP.

NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.

This command cannot be executed on the standby CP.

OPERANDS None

EXAMPLES To display the command history on a switch:
