Number of lines on the screen. The value is a number from 0 to 512. A value of

Usage

The system uses the length value to determine when to pause during multiple-screen output. A value of
zero prevents the switch from pausing between screens of output.
Some types of terminal sessions do not require you to specify the screen length because the screen
length specified can be learned by some remote hosts. For example, the rlogin protocol uses the
screen length to set up terminal parameters on a remote UNIX host.


Examples

In the following example, the system is configured to prevent output from pausing if it exceeds the
length of the screen:
Switch# service terminal-length 0
