CHAPTER 4 About the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Note!
Some settings, such as the terminal length and width, are inherently session-specific,
and there are no corresponding commands to set defaults. Also, some commands are only
available in default form.

Notes:
•
clear-history
—
EXEC
command. Clears the command history of the current user.
•
default
—Configure default CLI options for all future sessions.
•
auto-logout
—Control the length of user inactivity required before the CLI logs a user
out. The
no
variant disables the automatic logout feature.
•
paging enable
—Enable or disable (with
no
) paging of CLI output. If paging is
enabled, all command output, as well as all help text printed when the question mark
(?) key is pressed, is displayed one screen at a time, using the same pager as the
show log
command. If the text to be displayed fits on a single screen, it is printed
normally and the pager is not used. Note the abbreviated list of commands printed
when
<tab>
is hit twice is not paged, even in the unlikely event that it does not fit on
the screen. Additionally, if the CLI does not have a terminal (for example, it is being
driven by a script), paging is disabled automatically regardless of the default setting,
and cannot be re-enabled for this session. However, even in this case, the default
setting can still be changed.
•
prefix-modes enable
—Enable/disable the use of prefix modes in the CLI. If prefix
modes are disabled, the commands that were used to enter prefix modes may or may
not remain valid standalone commands, depending on the command. Changing this
option's default affects this session as well as all future ones, but does not affect other
sessions already in progress.
•
progress enable
—Enable/disable progress updates for long operations.
•
prompt
—Configure when the CLI should prompt you for input.
