Cisco APIC command equivalent to Cisco IOS `sh term | i Len`?

[fc00::/7]

In Cisco IOS, the command to view current terminal length is `s ter | i Le` or `show terminal | include Length`

Cisco_IOS#s ter | i Le
Length: 44 lines, Width: 157 columns
Cisco_IOS#

Unfortunately, there is no such command in APIC. Please let me know the equivalent command in Cisco APIC.

APIC# show terminal | include Length
Error: Invalid argument 'include Length '. Please check syntax in command reference guide
APIC#
APIC# show terminal
Error: Invalid argument 'terminal '. Please check syntax in command reference guide
APIC#
APIC# show t

Hi fc00::/7,

because APIC is based on Linux use "sh run | grep Le" or "sh run | egrep Le" instead of "sh run | include Le"

Don't forget to mark answers as correct if it solves your problem :)

Kind Regards

Thanks Patrick but I did not see any "Length/length" word in the sh run

APIC# sh run | grep Le
        description 'Server Legacy 01'
        description 'Server Legacy 02'
        description 'Server Legacy 03'
APIC#

Hi fc00::/7,

that is correct becaus this is a APIC and "show terminal" is not available.
But what you can do is: terminal length 0 -> followed by your command

What you want to achieve with your mentioned output?

Kind Regards

I just want to see existing terminal length on Cisco APIC. If you look at my first post, I provided an example of IOS as I would like to know the same setting on Cisco APIC. 

Length: 44 lines, Width: 157 columns

 I read about it somewhere, but I just forgot the command on APIC.

Hi @fc00::/7,

I know you asked me befoer, but didn't get a chance to look at it again until today when I observed this thread.

The command you are looking for is env (it's actually a bash command, so won't even show if you try ?)

Best used with grep or egrep and requires a bit of double interpretation

Example:

apic1# env | grep PAGER
_PAGER_LEN=0
apic1# term len 20
apic1# env | grep PAGER
_PAGER_LEN=20
_NO_PAGER=no
apic1# term len 0
apic1# env | grep PAGER
_PAGER_LEN=0
_NO_PAGER=yes

As you can see in the example, the default _PAGER_LEN is 0 - but this does not mean 0 or even infinity, it only applies AFTER you've set the pager length, in which case the _NO_PAGER environmental variable gets set to yes, and the value of the current page length can be determined.

As default, the system uses the unix utility less - as can be seen if you issue the env command from a bash prompt:

apic1# bash
admin@apic1:~> env | grep PAGER
PAGER=less
_PAGER_LEN=0
admin@apic1:~>

I hope this helps
