The actual number of lines displayed on one page depends on the relevant specification of the terminal.
For example, if you use the terminal rows command to set the number to 40 but the terminal supports
up to 24 lines on one page, the system will output line 1 to 40 to the terminal but you can see only line 18
to 40 on the screen. To see the previous 17 lines, you need to press the Page Up key.

The CLI also provides the pause function. When the output information exceeds one page, the system
will pause after displaying the first page. In this case, you have three choices, as shown in

Table 5-3
