Description
This article describes how to set the CLI output to standard (no pause), or more (pause once the screen is full, resume on keypress).
This setting applies to show or get commands only.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
Through the FortiGate's CLI, the default behavior to display the commands’ output is set to "more" and is exhibited below:
show
config system global
set admin-https-redirect disable
set admintimeout 480
set alias "FortiGate-300E"
set hostname "FG3H0E-1"
set lldp-transmission enable
set szitch-controller enable
set timezone 28
end
config system accprofile
edit "prof_admin"
set secfabgrp read-write
set ftviewgrp read-write
set authgrp read-write
set sysgrp read-write
set netgrp read-write
set loggrp read-write
set fwgrp read-write
set vpngrp read-write
set utmgrp read-write
set wifi read-write
next
--More--
To remove the pause between output data, use these CLI commands:
set output standard
end
- This is a configuration change that, if a user applies it without bringing it back, other users who access the CLI will view the whole command output when they type any query.
- This is useful for saving the configuration through SSH without having breaks between outputs.
- This is also useful when FortiManager uses CLI scripting to apply configuration changes through the FGFM tunnel.
