Configuring
Synchronous
Information Output
Synchronous information output refers to the feature that if the user’s input is 
interrupted by system output such as log, trap, or debugging information, then 
after the completion of system output the system will display a command line 
prompt (in command editing mode a prompt, or a [Y/N] string in interaction 
mode) and your input so far.
This command is used in the case that your input is interrupted by a large amount 
of system output. With this feature enabled, you can continue your operations 
from where you were stopped.
Follow these steps to enable synchronous information output:
