Whenever I issue show version command in Cisco APIC, I'm getting weird output like this.

Not sure why the hostname of controller AB_CDE_FGH_IJ_ACI_APC-0001 is separated into 2 lines which make the output very weird.

The same thing goes with other hostname as well

Actual Output

AB_CDE_FGH_IJ_ACI_APC_0001# show version

Is there a way to fix this?

  • The only thing you can try is to change the terminal width, but I doubt that will solve the problem.

I think this is something on what you can't affect from your side. I suppose the best option will be to create a support ticket with a feature request. But there is a really small chance that Cisco will do something with it. I have multiple examples when more problematic cases were marked as "wont-fix".

I have this output by the way:

  • I guess this problem is caused by the length of the hostname.
