Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When operating a device using the NMS, run this command to change the command output mode to line to improve operation efficiency. Common users typically use the character mode, so use this mode for common users to improve operation efficiency.

Precautions

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.
After a user changes the command output mode to line, the command output mode automatically switches to character when the 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.
