Scroll control

By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than 23 lines. The maximum number of lines per page is 23 (line 24 is reserved for printing). Displays that are longer than 23 lines are automatically segmented into pages with 23 lines per page.

If you use the question mark (?) to display a listing of available options in a given mode, the display stops at each 23 line increment and lists your choices for continuing the display.

Return key, quit: Control-c

Use one of the following scrolling options to display additional information:

• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at a time).
• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
• Press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Q to cancel the display.
• Use ths skip command in privileged EXEC mode to disable page display mode. Use the page command to re-enable page display mode

The following example toggles between page display modes.

Brocade#skip

Brocade#page
