current terminal session, type no terminal history in either privileged or non-privi-

leged EXEC mode:

controller# no terminal history

Finding Words in show Command Output

To quickly locate a word in the output of any show command, use the following

command:

show argument | grep "string"

For this feature to work, only one show command can be the input to the grep and

the show command cannot have arguments (for example, the form of the command

such as show ap 54. The "string" is a literal, case-sensitive word to search for (such

as AP-54), and must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Only one string search

can be performed per command line.

As an example, to search for and display the entry for AP-54 in the output of the show

ap command, use the command:

controller# show ap | grep "AP-54"
