Extreme OS VM Display

WifiCraig — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 01:30:26 GMT

I have recently been found there are VMs for the EXOS for Virtual box. So for training purposes i have set a couple up to get familiar with the OS and the commands. When i open the VMs to us and write a command some of the text goes off the end of the screen and when you do ‘show config’ for example it spits big blocks out at a time with no way of scrolling up te screen to view it all. Is anyone else using the VMs and has anyone found a way of getting all the text to display properly in the window??

I believe the default number of lines for console connections (how VirtualBox connects) is:

CLI screen size : 24 Lines 80 Columns (this session only)

This is configurable on a per-session basis. Give the commands on this page a try.

I use the following steps to connect to the console on EXOS VM:

Configure the VM in VirtualBox: Ports -> Serial Ports -> Port 1
- [Checked] Enable Serial Port
- Port Number: COM1
- Port Mode: TCP
- [Unchecked] Connect to existing pipe/socket
- Path/Address: 2001
Boot the VM
Start telnet in a local terminal
```
$ telnet <ENTER>
```
Ensure your telnet "session" is in character mode:
```
telnet> mode character <ENTER>
```
Connect to the serial console:
```
telnet> open 127.0.0.1 2001 <ENTER>
```

Hope that works better.
