How to stop paging of commands output on Cisco iOS devices?

[Vikramaditya J]

Hello Community,

Is there any command to turn-off the paging of the commands output on Cisco iOS and display all output without paging? On Dell Switches, there's a command "terminal length 0", but the same doesn't seem available on Cisco iOS.

Router#terminal ?

history Enable and control the command history function

monitor Enable logging on the terminal line.

no Negate a command

Router#terminal monitor ?

<cr>

Router#terminal monitor 0

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Most of the router should have the same command you mentioned as HP on cisco IOS too 

#terminal length ?
<0-512> Number of lines on screen (0 for no pausing)

unfortunately i do not see that option on your device, what device model and ios code running on it , that will help us to see what is wrong ? show version (post this output).

Hello,

odd. Does the below work ?

Router#conf t
Router(config)#line con 0
Router(config-line)#autocommand terminal length 0
Router(config-line)#exit
Router(config)#line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)#autocommand terminal length 0
Router(config-line)#exit

Thank you for your replies. My bad I didn't mention that I'm trying it on virtual devices in Cisco packet tracker. I'm preparing for my CCNA and I've worked on real Dell switches, but not on Cisco devices. So is it a limitation in packet tracer that it doesn't have "terminal length 0"?

[balaji.bandi]

most device that should work

or try :

line vty 0 4

length 100 (what ever you like )

Hello,

that explains it. Packet Tracer does not have fully functional IOS feature sets loaded, but rather only subsets that enable you to accomplish specific tasks. If a command is not there (like in your case), there is no workaround.
