By default, how many commands are stored in the history buffer?

The default size of the history buffer in Cisco devices is set to 10 commands. This means that when you are working in the command-line interface of a Cisco router or switch, the last 10 commands that you executed can be recalled for your convenience. This feature allows network administrators to more efficiently manage device configurations by easily accessing previously entered commands without retyping them.

Users can increase or decrease the number of commands stored in the history buffer by using the history size command in global configuration mode, but the standard setting remains at 10 commands unless otherwise specified. Understanding the default history buffer size is essential for efficient CLI navigation and command management while administering Cisco networking devices.
