Controlling the CLI Environment

In operational mode, you can control the command-line interface (CLI) environment. For example, you can specify the number lines that are displayed on the screen or your terminal type. The following output lists the options that you can use to control the CLI environment:

user@host> set cli ?

Possible completions:

    complete-on-space                                 Toggle word completion on space

    directory                                    Set the current working directory

    idle-timeout                                    Set the cli maximum idle time

    prompt                                    Set the cli command prompt string

    restart-on-upgrade                                    Set cli to prompt for restart after a software upgrade

    screen-length                                    Set number of lines on screen

    screen-width                                    Set number of characters on a line

    terminal                                    Set terminal type

    timestamp                                    Timestamp cli output

   
NOTE: When you use SSH to log in to the router or log in from the console when its terminal type is already configured (as described in the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide), your terminal type, screen length, and screen width are already set.
