Dump Running-Config to Log without –More–
by admin on Apr.19, 2007, under Networking, Routers
If you are like me you like to take a running-config dump it to a text file open it in a text editor before making any major changes. You can then plan out all the config changes you want to make and save it to a separate file so you have the current config and the future config saved.
When you want to make the changes to your network device you can just cut and paste in the parts that are changing instead of having to type it all in and possibly commit typos.
One of the annoyances I have run into is when you have a large config there are a ton of pauses in the config text file that show up as –More–. These are really annoying and can mess up your cut and paste config changes if you miss one.
To fix this issue before you type “show run” type “term len 0″. This will cause the config to display without pausing and if you have logging turned on in putty if will dump to text without the annoying –More–s in it. After you save your file you are going to want to type “term len 24″ to get it to pause again while you are making the changes.

When using putty, you need to enter “term len 0″ twice, otherwise it will contiune to display in “term len 24″.

Do you know which version you had this problem with?
I have been using this with version 0.54 and it works fine. Good tip though if this doesn’t work for you.
Good to hear from you John.
