Terminal Length Commands
This chapter provides information about terminal length commands.

terminal length

Use the terminal length command to set the terminal length. Use the no
form of the command to reset the terminal length to the default.
Syntax
terminal length
value
no terminal length
•
value
— The length in number of lines. Range: 0–512
Default Configuration
This default value is 24.
Command Mode
Privileged EXEC mode
User Guidelines
Setting the terminal length to 0 disables paging altogether. It is
recommended that the terminal length either be set to 0 or a value larger than
4 as terminal lengths in the range of 1 to 4 may give odd output due to
prompting. The terminal length command is specific to the current session.
Logging out, rebooting or otherwise ending the current session will require
that the command be re-entered. Likewise, because the terminal length
setting is specific to a session, it is never saved in the config.
Example
console#terminal length 50
