Using the CLI 75
Other CLI Tools and Capabilities
The CLI has several other capabilities associated with its primary functions.
Terminal Paging
The terminal width and length for CLI displays is 79 characters and 25 lines, respectively. The
length setting is used to control the number of lines the CLI will display before it pauses. For
example, the CLI pauses at 24 lines and prompts the user with the -more- prompt on the 25th line.
The CLI waits for the user to press either <q> or any other key. If the user presses any key except
<q>, the CLI shows the next page. A <q> key stops the display and returns to the CLI prompt.
Boot Message
The boot message is a system message that is not user-configurable and is displayed when the
system is booting. Displayed information includes the following:
• Operational code date
• The board type
• The CPU
• Memory size
To start the normal booting process, select item 1 in the Boot Menu. The following is a sample log
