For more information on the use of these commands, see the “Related Documents” section on page x.
Browsing Display Output When the --More-- Prompt Appears
When command output requires more than one screen, such as for the ?, show, or more commands, the
output is presented one screen at a time, and a
--More-- prompt appears at the bottom of the screen.
To display additional command output, do one of the following:
• Press Return to display the next line.
• Press Spacebar to display the next screen of output.
The following example shows one screen of data and the --More-- prompt:
RP/0//CPU0:router# show ?
Tip If you do not see the --More-- prompt, try entering a value for the screen length with the terminal
length command in EXEC mode. Command output is not paused if the length value is set to zero. The
following example shows how to set the terminal length:
RP/0//CPU0:router# terminal length 20
For information on searching or filtering CLI output, see the “Filtering show Command Output” section

To interrupt screen output and terminate a display, press Ctrl-C, as shown in the following example:
RP/0//CPU0:router# show running-config
<Ctrl-C>
