The number-of-lines parameter indicates the maximum number of lines that will be displayed on a
full screen of text during the current session. If the displayed information requires more than one
page, the terminal pauses. Pressing the space bar displays the next page.

The default for number-of-lines is 24. Entering a value of 0 prevents the terminal from pausing
between multiple output pages:

Checking the length of terminal displays

The show terminal command specifies the number of lines that will be displayed on the screen as
specified by the terminal length, page display, and skip-page-display commands. It also shows if
the enable skip-page-display command has been configured. The enable skip-page-display
command allows you to use the skip-page-display to disable the configured page-display settings.

Brocade(config)# show terminal

Length: 24 lines

Page display mode (session): enabled

Page display mode (global): enabled

Syntax: show terminal

Enabling or disabling routing protocols

The Multi-Service IronWare supports the following protocols:

BGP4

DVMRP

IP

IS-IS

MPLS

MSDP

OSPF

PIM

RIP

VRRP

VRRPE

By default, IP routing is enabled on the Brocade device. All other protocols are disabled, so you
must enable them to configure and use them.

To enable a protocol on a Brocade device, enter router at the global CONFIG level, followed by the
protocol to be enabled. The following example shows how to enable OSPF.

Brocade(config)# router ospf

Syntax: [no] router bgp | dvmrp | ospf | pim | rip | vrrp | vrrpe
