Configuring terminal display

Configuring terminal display
You can configure and display the number of lines displayed on a terminal screen during the
current CLI session.
The terminal length command allows you to determine how many lines will be displayed on the
screen during the current CLI session. This command is useful when reading multiple lines of
displayed information, especially those that do not fit on one screen.
To specify the maximum number of lines displayed on one page, enter a command such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config)# terminal length 15
Syntax: terminal length <number-of-lines>
The <number-of-lines> parameter indicates the maximum number of lines that will be displayed on
a full screen of text during the current session. If the displayed information requires more than one
page, the terminal pauses. Pressing the space bar displays the next page.
The default for <number-of-lines> is 24. Entering a value of 0 prevents the terminal from pausing
between multiple output pages.

Checking the length of terminal displays

The show terminal command specifies the number of lines that will be displayed on the screen as
specified by the terminal length, page display, and skip-page-display commands. It also shows if
the enable skip-page-display command has been configured. The enable skip-page-display
command allows you to use the skip-page-display to disable the configured page-display settings.
BigIron RX(config)# show terminal
Length: 24 lines
Page display mode (session): enabled
Page display mode (global): enabled
Syntax: show terminal
