Understanding dynamic configuration

In most cases, dynamic configuration enables you to make configuration changes without
rebooting the system. Most Layer 2 configuration changes are dynamic. All Layer 4-7 configuration
changes are dynamic.

If a command requires a reload to be effective, the device will display this information after the
configuration command is entered.

Disabling or re-enabling the page-display mode

The page-display mode displays the file one page at a time and prompts you to continue or cancel
the display. When page-display mode is disabled, if you display or save the configuration file, the
CLI displays the entire file without interruption.

By default, the page-display mode is enabled. When the Brocade Virtual ADX prints text, one "page"
(window-full) of the file is displayed. The following line provides you with options to continue the
display or to cancel with Ctrl-c.

--More--, next page: Space/Return key, quit: Control-c

To disable the page-display mode, enter the following command.

Virtual ADX#skip-page-display

Disable page display mode

To enable the page-display mode, enter the following command.

Virtual ADX#page-display

Enable page display mode

Syntax: skip-page-display

Syntax: page-display

Disabling or re-enabling the stop page display characteristic

You can remove the stop page display characteristic for the write terminal command.

For example, by default, when a user enters the command write terminal the full configuration will
generally involve more than a single page display. You are prompted to enter the return key to view
the next page of information. When this command is enabled, this page-by-page prompting will be
removed and the entire display will roll on the screen until the end is reached.

To remove the stop page display characteristic for the write terminal command, enter the following
command.

Virtual ADX(config)#enable skip-page-display

To re-enable the stop page display characteristic, enter no enable skip-page-display.

Syntax: [no] enable skip-page-display
