•length
A number-of-lines value of 0 turns off paging and displays data on the screen without stopping until
completed. We recommend that you set the terminal page length to 0 when you use the
showlogging
command with the
end
argument. Otherwise, you will have to keep pressing the space bar to continue
each time the maximum display length prints. The
no
form of this command resets the terminal length
to the default.
length Specifies the number of lines that appear on the screen when you run
commands such as the more command an on-line help (?).
number-of-lines Number (integer) of lines that appear on the scre en when you run co mmands
such as the
more

0
to disable paging and display all output
at once.
time-out Specifies the amount of idle time that your Server Switch allows before it
logs a user out of the CLI.
minutes Number of minutes (integer ranging from 1 to 100000) of idle time that
prompts your Server Switch to end your CLI session and log you out.
