Telnet/SSH - halt screen output

pdriscoll · ‎07-25-2007

On an ASA, what is the keyboard key or combination of keys to halt screen output in a telnet/ssh session, similar to the <ctrl> <c> combo that halts output in the IOS? I cannot figure this out or find it via Google for anything....Thanks.

If you are trying to stop the output of a command from scrolling by too fast, I recommend you fix the problem not a symptom. To fix the problem, you should change the pager size. Try this in config mode..

pager lines 30

If you hit the "Q" key, it will quit back to the prompt instead of continuing with the command output.
