DIS-200G Series Gigabit Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
18
Default
By default, this value is 24.
Command Mode
Use the EXEC Mode or Privilege EXEC Mode for the
terminal length
command.
Command Default Level
Level: 1 (for the
terminal length
command).
Usage Guideline
When the terminal length is 0, the display will not stop until it reaches the end of the display.
If the terminal length is specified to a value other than 0, for example 50, then the display will stop after every
50 lines. The terminal length is used to set the number of lines displayed on the current terminal screen. This
command also applies to Telnet and SSH sessions. Valid entries are from 0 to 512. The default is 24 lines. A
selection of 0's instructs the Switch to scroll continuously (no pausing).
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 on more line of output. Setting the screen
length to 0 turns off the scrolling feature and causes the entire output to display at once. Unless the default
keyword is used, a change to the terminal length value applies only to the current session. When using the no
form of this command, the number of lines in the terminal display screen is reset to 24.
Example
This example shows how to change the lines to be displayed on a screen to 60.
