HP 12-Port 4X Fabric Copper Switch Commands
Administrative Commands
Appendix B
283
Syntax:
terminal length int
terminal no length
int is a number between 0 and 512 that indicates the number of lines to display at one time.
0 turns off paging and displays data on the screen without stopping until completed. It is recommended you
set the terminal page length to 0 when using the tail command with the end argument. Otherwise, you will
have to keep pressing the <space> bar to continue each time the maximum display length is reached. no
length resets the terminal length to the default.
Command Modes:
User-execute and privileged-execute modes.
Privilege Level:
General read-only user.
Usage Guidelines:
The number of lines specified only applies to the current CLI session. Other users are unaffected by changes
to the display length.
If you set the page length to 0 to disable paging, do not change the terminal window size. Changing window
size restores the terminal length to that of the window and re-enables paging.
Examples:
HP-IB# terminal length 66
Defaults:
The default is 24 lines per screen.

Syntax:

terminal no time-out
int is a number between 1 and 100000 that indicates the number of minutes of inactivity allowed before
automatically closing the CLI session. no timeout resets the session limit for inactivity to the default.
