Usage Guideline
When the terminal length is specified to 0, the display will not stop until it reaches
the end of the display.
If terminal length is specified to a value other than 0, for example 50, then the
display will stop for every 50 lines. Terminal length is to set the number of lines
displayed on the current terminal screen. This command also takes effect tfor
both Telnet and SSH sessions automatically. .
Output from a single command that overflows a single display screen is followed
by the --More-- prompt. At the --More-- prompt, press Ctrl-C, q, or Q to interrupt
the output and return to the prompt, press the Spacebar to display an additional
screen of output, or press Return to display one more line of output.
Setting the
terminal length
to 0 turns off the scrolling stop feature and causes
the entire output to display at once (continuously).
Unless the
default
keyword is specified, changing the terminal length value
applies only to the current session. When changing the value in a session, the
value applies only to that session. When using the no form of this command, the
number of lines in the terminal display is reset to the default of 24.
The
default
keyword is available in Privileged EXEC mode only.
Example
This example shows how to change the lines to be displayed in a screen to 60.
