Whenever I run show running-config leaf/spine from APIC, I notice that there is a pause which is --More-- at the end of the first page.

What I'm trying to achieve is to disable that so that I can save the config to .txt file.

For example, in Cisco IOS we can always do terminal length 0 to achieve the same. Is there any similar command in Cisco APIC?

I also would like to view the Length setting in the APIC's terminal. In IOS the command is show terminal | include Length

  • This might sound weird, but do you actually write terminal, the full word when using the command? The reason i ask is, that there's a bug on some of the software, where you have to spell it out fully.

  • @user56700, of course not. LOL. ter len 0 will do instead of terminal length 0

  • Well, if not, then that is your problem. You have to write the full command terminal length 0 for it to work. :-)

CSCva24843

Symptom: User enters "term len 0" to disable paging in ACI but still has paging enabled when running a command with large output.

Conditions: User does not spell out "terminal" completely.
