Scroll control
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the
number of rows in your terminal emulation window. For example, if you display a list
of all the commands at the global CONFIG level but your terminal emulation
window does not have enough rows to display them all at once, the page mode
stops the display and lists your choices for continuing the display.
Here is an example:
aaa
access-list
all-client
arp
banner
base-mac-addr
boot
some lines omitted for brevity...
default-vlan-id
enable
enable-acl-counter
end
exit
--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c
The software provides the following scrolling options:
v Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at time).
v Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
v Press Ctrl-C cancel the display.
Line editing commands
The CLI supports the following line editing commands. To enter a line-editing
command, use the CTRL-key combination for the command by pressing and
holding the CTRL key, then pressing the letter associated with the command.
