Using the CLI Customizing the Screen Display
OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Switch Management Guide May 2012 page 6-20
Setting Session Prompt as System Name
CLI prompt can be configured as the current system name of the switch. By default, the system name is
set to ‘VxTarget’. This can be configured using the command session prompt default system-name.
Every time the system name is modified, the prompt also gets modified. The new prompt takes effect after
relogging to a new session.
Note. System name is configured for the switch using the CLI command system name. The system name
can also be dynamically obtained from the DHCP server (DHCP Option-12). The user-defined system
name configuration (through CLI, WebView, SNMP) gets priority over the DHCP server values.
For more information on the session prompt default command, refer to the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI
Reference Guide.
Displaying Table Information
The amount of information displayed on your console screen can be extensive, especially for certain show
commands. By default, the CLI immediately scrolls all information to the screen. The more mode can be
used to limit the number of lines displayed to your screen. To use the more mode requires two steps as
follows:
• Specify the number of lines displayed while in the more mode.
• Enter the more mode.
The more size command specifies the number of lines displayed to the screen while in the more mode.
The following syntax sets the switch to display six lines of data to the screen while in the CLI is in more
mode.
-> more size 6
The following command enables the more feature.
-> more
After these commands are executed, the CLI displays no more than six lines to the screen at a time
followed by the More? prompt. The following is a sample display.
-> show snmp mib family
MIP ID MIB TABLE NAME FAMILY

6145 esmConfTrap NO SNMP ACCESS
6146 alcetherStatsTable interface
6147 esmConfTable interface
More? [next screen <sp>, next line <cr>, filter pattern </>, quit <q>]
At the More? prompt, you are given a list of options. The output formats are described here:
<sp> Press <sp> (space bar) to display the next page of information.
<cr> Press <cr> (character return) to display the next line of information
/ Press / to enter the filter mode. (See “Filtering Table Information” on page 6-21.)
<q> Press the character “q” to exit More? and return you to the system prompt.
