29. NVRAM Configuration History
Introduction
Configuration-history is a CLI feature, giving the user ability to record ALL the commands
that were entered from Configuration mode into the device and changed the configuration. All
the commands are recorded into the NVRAM even if the device configuration is not saved
(with write command).
By default, Configuration-history recording is inactive.
History Log Format and Generation
Every time the user exits global Configuration mode, the configuration-session history is
generated and stored into NVRAM in the following format:
!
! time_stamp :: user_id :: device{console|telnet|ssh}
! configuration session number start
!
command 1
command 2
….
!
! configuration session number end
!
The history session is stored in script-like format, so that user can easily re-execute the
commands later.
