Troubleshooting Tip: Output paused until pressing any button on the keyboard

[riteshpv]

Description	This article describes a solution for collecting logs.
Scope	All supported versions of FortiSwitch.
Solution	When running the command show or show full-configuration or get, the output pauses with the prompt displaying --More--, as shown below: sh full-configuration config-version=S248EF-7.04-FW-build767-230602:opmode=0:vdom=0 conf_file_ver=10676016742320736859 buildno=0767 global_vdom=1 config system global set 802.1x-ca-certificate "Fortinet_CA" set 802.1x-certificate "Fortinet_Factory" set admin-concurrent enable set admin-lockout-duration 60 set admin-lockout-threshold 3 set admin-password-hash sha256 set admin-scp disable set admin-ssh-grace-time 120 set admin-ssh-port 22 set admin-ssh-v1 disable set admin-telnet-port 23 set admintimeout 400 set alertd-relog disable set allow-subnet-overlap disable set arp-timeout 180 --More--              To view the complete output without interruptions, pressing any key on the keyboard repeatedly is necessary. This process can be cumbersome, especially when troubleshooting and collecting logs from multiple FortiSwitches. To avoid this issue, run the following command on the FortiSwitch: config system console set output standard end With this setting applied, running the show or show full-configuration commands will provide the complete output without pressing any keys. For FortiSwitches managed centrally (like FortiGate), the command can be set and pushed to the FortiSwitch using the custom-command feature. The procedure to push the configuration is illustrated in the example provided in Technical Tip: Auto-stp-priority.
