set terminal

set terminal

These commands are used to configure runtime terminal settings that define the way that the command parser interacts with the user. If more than one session is active at a given time, they can have different terminal settings. Typically, these commands only affect the current parser session. However, the default settings of the erase character, more processing, and enhanced mode can be configured and permanently remembered between sessions by being in supervisor mode when the command is issued (see enable). The status of the current terminal configuration can be displayed with the show version command.

set terminal {width characters | height lines | more | nomore | enhanced | noenhanced | erase {bs | del} | print {numbers | letters}}

Syntax Description

width characters

This command is used to set the terminal width in characters. This variable is only used for informational purposes in this release of the command parser. The default is 80 characters, but it may also be set by the telnet client, if the client supports it.

height lines

This command is used to set the terminal height in lines. The command parser uses the height variable to determine screen sizes, especially in conjunction with the set terminal more option described below. The default is 24 lines, but it may also be set by the telnet client, if the client supports it.

more | nomore

The command parser supports "more" processing of all displayed output. With set terminal more enabled, displayed output longer than the configured terminal height will be paused and a "--more--" prompt will be displayed. To display the next screen of data, enter a <SPACE>. To display only the next line of data, enter a <RETURN>. Any other input terminates the output and the next command prompt will be displayed. The set terminal nomore command disables this feature. The default is set terminal more.

enhanced | noenhanced

The command parser supports an "enhanced" mode. With set terminal enhanced enabled, if the parser cannot decipher the input entered or an invalid option was entered for a command, the parser will redisplay the portion that was successfully parsed. The set terminal noenhanced disables this feature. The default is set terminal enhanced.

erase {bs | del}

This command sets the parser's erase character. Only <BACKSPACE> (bs) and <DELETE> (del) are supported as erase characters. The default is bs.

print {numbers | letters}

This command tells the parser whether interfaces should be displayed with numbers or letters. The default is numbers.
