History

Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.

Usage

This command remains in effect for the duration of the session, until you enter an exit or

quit command, or until you enter another set confirm command.

MSS displays a message requiring confirmation when you enter certain commands that can have a

potentially large impact on the network. For example:

MX# clear vlan red

This may disrupt user connectivity. Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n]

Examples

To turn off these confirmation messages, type the following command:

MX# set confirm off

success: Confirm state is off

set length

Defines the number of lines of CLI output to display between paging prompts. MSS displays the

set number of lines and waits for you to press any key to display another set, or type q to quit the

display.

Syntax

Defaults

MSS displays 24 lines by default.

Access

Usage

Use this command if the output of a CLI command is greater than the number of lines

allowed by default for a terminal type.

The MX-200 and MX-216 can boot and manage up to 32 MPs by default. You can increase the MP

support to 64, 96, or 128 MPs, by installing one or more activation keys. You can install a 32-MP

upgrade, 64-MP upgrade, or 96-MP upgrade. If you have already installed a 32-MP or 64-MP

upgrade, you can still install additional upgrades.

The entire upgrade matrix is available in the Release Notes for the latest released MSS version.
