Usage Guidelines

The default command output mode is character.

Usage Scenario

When you operate a device using the NMS, run this command to change the command output mode to line to improve operation efficiency. Common users have a habit of using the character mode. Therefore, use the character mode for common users to improve operation efficiency.

Configuration Impact

After a user runs this command to set the line mode, this mode takes effect only for this user. Other users still use the character mode.

Precautions

After a user changes the command output mode to line, the command output mode automatically switches to character when this user exits the device or the device restarts or performs an active/standby switchover.
This command does not affect interactive inputs for the command line.

Example

# Set the command output mode to line.

<sysname> terminal echo-mode line
