Disable the --more-- prompt in Cisco CLI

IT_Joe

**show startup-config**:

!
line con 0
login local
length 0
line vty 0
exec-timeout 0 0
login local
length 0
line vty 1 4
login local
length 0
line vty 5 15
login local
length 0
!

However I still get prompted with the --more-- on long outputs.
Is there a setting I'm missing?

Possibly.

Cannot remember the exact command.  Something like terminal lines set to zero?

The correct command will stop the more pagination.

Try

terminal length 0

That's what I configured on the switch. 

I do not want to have to input this command every time I connect to the switch, but would prefer for this setting to be activated upon login (without typing).

Ah, understand, I think.  Your OP could be read as you were not able to disable terminal pagination at all.  So, the issue is just for it to be the same across logins, correct?

The couple of references (e.g.) if found, for making terminal length zero, proposes what you've already done, i.e. set length zero under console or vty settings.

You're doing this in a "real" Cisco device?  If so, what IOS is in running?

The only alternative that comes to mind is whether device might run some kind of connect/logon script, but not a feature I'm aware of.

Can you more elaborate.

I dont get your Q well 
but 
you can use 
show run |  <<- after this you can include specific part of showing 

if you want to see all showing without --more-- 
only press TAB in keyword and the appear of showing is full all screen not appear as line by line 

Thanks A Lot
