Displaying System Information with show Commands
Browsing Display Output when the --More-- Prompt Appears
When command output requires more than one screen, such as for the ?, show, or more command, the
output is presented one screen at a time, and a --More-- prompt is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
To display additional command output, do one of the following:
Press Return to display the next line.
Press the space bar to display the next screen of output.
The following example shows one screen of data and t he --More-- prompt:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show ?

Tip If you do not see the --More-- prompt, try entering a value for the screen length with the terminal

following example shows how to set the terminal length:
RP/0/RP1/CPU0:router# terminal length 20
