Configuring terminal display

You can configure and display the number of lines displayed on a terminal screen during the
current CLI session.

The terminal length command allows you to determine how many lines will be displayed on the
screen during the current CLI session. This command is useful when reading multiple lines of
displayed information, especially those that do not fit on one screen.

To specify the maximum number of lines displayed on one page, enter a command such as the
following.

Virtual ADX# terminal length 15

Syntax: terminal length number-of-lines

The number-of-lines parameter indicates the maximum number of lines that will be displayed on a
full screen of text during the current session. If the displayed information requires more than one
page, the terminal pauses. Pressing the space bar displays the next page.

The default for number-of-lines is 24. Entering a value of 0 prevents the terminal from pausing
between multiple output pages.

Checking the length of terminal displays

The show terminal command specifies the number of lines that will be displayed on the screen as
specified by the terminal length, page display, and skip-page-display commands. It also shows if
the enable skip-page-display command has been configured. The enable skip-page-display
command allows you to use the skip-page-display to disable the configured page-display settings.

Virtual ADX(config)# show terminal

Length: 24 lines

Page display mode (session): enabled

Page display mode (global): enabled

Configuring basic port parameters

The procedures in this section describe how to configure the following port parameters:

Name – refer to

“Assigning a port name”

on page 11

Status – refer to

“Disabling or re-enabling a port”

on page 11

NOTE

To modify Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4 features on a port, see the appropriate section in this chapter
or other chapters.

All Brocade ports are pre-configured with default values that allow the device to be fully operational
at initial startup without any additional configuration. However, in some cases, changes to the port
parameters may be necessary to adjust to attached devices or other network requirements.
