terminal
To configure terminal attributes, use the terminal command in EXEC mode. To revert to the defaults,
use the no form of the command.
terminal {length lines | monitor | session-timeout | terminal-type type | tree-update |
width integer}
terminal no {length | monitor | session-timeout | terminal-type | width}
Syntax Description
Defaults The default number of lines for the length is 24. The default width is 80 lines.
Command Modes EXEC mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines Remember that all terminal parameter-setting commands are set locally and do not remain in effect after
a session is ended. You must perform this task at the EXEC prompt at each session to see the debugging
messages.
If the length is not 24 and the width is not 80, then you need to set a length and width.
Examples The following example displays debug command output and error messages during the current terminal
session.
