The command line interface (CLI) is designed for use in a VT100 environment.
Most show command output pauses when the display reaches the end of a page.
To view the status of CLI paging on the switch, use the show management command. The show management command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for CLI paging.
If CLI paging is enabled and you use the show tech-support command to diagnose system technical problems, the CLI paging feature is disabled.
The following command enables cli paging permanently (setting persists across reboots) and does not allow the display to print continuously to the screen:
enable cli paging permanent
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
