Configuring terminal display
5
As with the banner motd command, you begin and end the message with a delimiting character; in
this example, the delimiting character is # (pound sign). To remove the banner, enter the no
banner exec_mode command.
Syntax: [no] banner exec_mode <delimiting-character>
Displaying a message on the console when an incoming
Telnet session is detected
You can configure the device to display a message on the Console when a user establishes a Telnet
session. This message indicates where the user is connecting from and displays a configurable text
message.
BigIron RX(config)# banner incoming $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Incoming Telnet Session!! $
When a user connects to the CLI using Telnet, the following message appears on the Console.
Telnet from 209.157.22.63
Incoming Telnet Session!!
Syntax: [no] banner incoming <delimiting-character>
To remove the banner, enter the no banner incoming command.
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.
BigIron RX(config)# 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.
