Usage Guidelines

ExtremeXOS software “remembers” all the commands you entered on the switch.

Use the history command to display a list of these commands.

Example

The following command displays all the commands entered on the switch:

# history 
         1  enable ssh
         2  show switch 
         3  show ver images 
         4  show switch 
         5  configure timezone name EST -300 autodst name EDT 
         6  show switch 
         7  configure time 8 17 2021 14 58 0 
         8  save
         9  show switch 
        10  history

The following command deletes the history for the range of 4 and 5 from the previous list:

# history -d 4 - 5 

The following command clears the history:

history -c

If you use a command more than once, consecutively, the history will only list the first instance.
