Other CLI Tools and Capabilities
The CLI has several other capabilities associated with its primary functions.
Terminal Paging
The terminal width and length for CLI displays is 79 characters and 25 lines, respectively. The
length setting is used to control the number of lines the CLI will display before it pauses. For
example, the CLI pauses at 24 lines and prompts the user with the
line. The CLI waits for the user to press either <q> or any other key. If the user presses any key
except <q>, the CLI shows the next page. A <q> key stops the display and returns to the CLI
prompt.

system is booting. Displayed information includes the following:
• Operational code date

key interrupts the boot process and displays a Boot Utility Menu. Selecting item 2 displays the
menu and may be typed only during the initial boot up sequence. Once the system boot up is
