Usage 
The system uses the length value to determine when to pause during multiple-screen output. A value of 
zero prevents the switch from pausing between screens of output. 
Some types of terminal sessions do not require you to specify the screen length because the screen 
length specified can be learned by some remote hosts. For example, the rlogin protocol uses the 
screen length to set up terminal parameters on a remote UNIX host. 
 
Examples 
In the following example, the system is configured to prevent output from pausing if it exceeds the 
length of the screen: 
Switch# service terminal-length 0
