enable cli refresh

enable cli refresh {session | permanent}

Description

This command allows you to configure the default auto refresh behavior. The auto refresh behavior is used for some show commands.

Syntax Description


session	Use refresh setting for this CLI session only.
permanent	Use refresh setting for this CLI session, and all future sessions (default).

Default

Permanent.

Usage Guidelines

The auto refresh behavior is used for some ‘show‘ commands. You must use the disable cli refresh command to disable the show command auto refresh or add the no-refresh option to the individual command. For example:

show ports config – will display and refresh the first <n> ports of a switch until the [ESC] key is pressed.
disable cli refresh
show ports config – will act as if show ports config no-refresh was entered and page through all ports

Since the default for the session may be set to disable cli refresh the commands that take a no-refresh option now allow for the alternate refresh case if the user wants to selectively enable a refreshed display.

The permanent option is only valid for admin level users.
