Customizing the Screen Display Using the CLI
page 5-18 OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide March 2005
Displaying Table Information
The amount of information displayed on your console screen can be extensive, especially for certain show
commands. By default, the CLI will immediately scroll all information to the screen. The more mode can
be used to limit the number of lines displayed to your screen. To use the more mode requires two steps as
follows:
• Specify the number of lines displayed while in the more mode.
• Enter the more mode.
The more size command specifies the number of lines displayed to the screen while in the more mode.
The following syntax will set the switch to display six lines of data to the screen while in the CLI is in
more mode.
-> more size 6
The following command enables the more feature.
-> more
After these commands are executed, the CLI will display no more than 6 lines to the screen at a time
followed by the More? prompt. The following is a sample display.
-> show snmp mib family
MIP ID MIB TABLE NAME FAMILY

More? [next screen <sp>, next line <cr>, filter pattern </>, quit <q>]
At the More? prompt, you are given a list of options. The output formats are described here:
<sp> Press <sp> (space bar) to display the next page of information.
<cr> Press <cr> (character return) to display the next line of information
/ Press / to enter the filter mode. (See “Filtering Table Information” on page 5-19.)
<q> Press the character “q” to exit More? and return you to the system prompt.
To exit the more mode, use the no more CLI command.
Note. The value set with the more size command applies to the screen display when the CLI is in the more
mode or when you are using the switch’s Vi text editor.
