Using Configuration Logging
Using Configuration Logging
You can log and view changes to the switch configuration. You can use the Configuration Change
Logging and Notification feature to track changes on a per-session and per-user basis. The logger tracks
each configuration command that is applied, the user who entered the command, the time that the
command was entered, and the parser return code for the command. This feature includes a mechanism
for asynchronous notification to registered applications whenever the configuration changes. You can
choose to have the notifications sent to the syslog.

section of the

Changing the Command History Buffer Size
By default, the switch records ten command lines in its history buffer. You can alter this number for a
current terminal session or for all sessions on a particular line. These procedures are optional.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to change the number of command lines that
the switch records during the current terminal session:

The range is from 0 to 256.
Beginning in line configuration mode, enter this command to configure the number of command lines
the switch records for all sessions on a particular line:
Switch(config-line)#
