1.3.3 Command History
CLI can store the latest executed commands as history commands so that users can
recall and execute them again. By default, CLI can store 10 history commands for each
user. Table 1-6 lists history command-related operations.

previous history command (if
available).

Pressing the down-arrow key
or <Ctrl+N>

As the Up and Down keys have different meanings in HyperTerminal running on
Windows 9x, these two keys can be used to recall history commands only in terminals
running Windows 3.x or Telnet running in Windows 3.x. You can press <Ctrl + P> or
<Ctrl + N> in Windows 9x to achieve the same purpose.
