Parameters

ansi: Specifies the terminal display type ANSI.

vt100: Specifies the terminal display type VT100.

Usage guidelines

The device supports two terminal display types: ANSI and VT100. As a best practice, set the display type to VT100 on both the device and the configuration terminal. If either side uses the ANSI type, a display problem such as cursor positioning error might occur when a command line has more than 80 characters.

Examples

# Set the terminal display type to VT100.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] line vty 0
[Sysname-line-vty0] terminal type vt100
