Pausing Output
Using the terminal
command, you
can set an important feature of the user interface: the pausing of
lengthy output. For example, if you run a command that has more than
one page of output, the router will pause after 24 lines with a
“—More—” prompt. The value 24 is the default
terminal length. Depending on the size of your terminal window, this
might not be adequate. You can change the length and width using the
terminal command, like this:
Router>terminal length 10Router>terminal width 80
These commands set the terminal length to 10 and the width to 80, which means the router will pause after 10 lines of output and that each of these lines will be 80 characters long. You can disable the pausing altogether by setting the terminal length to 0:
