I normally run ssh from within a screen/tmux; or when I login to a remote Linux system, first thing I do is reconnect to the existing tmux/screen session, or start a new session.
Really convenient as you can disconnect and later reconnect and start where you left. It may take a while to get used to it, and you'll see that you forget in the beginning, but after a while it works like automatic.
Not really an Aruba topic, but may be helpful for others.

Thank you. I will read the man page. Can you think of something for ssh as well?

Screen does have a scrollback buffer. Type Ctrl-A followed by [
After that you can go up/down (and probably do more things that I don't use)
If you search, it should be easy to find a manual/tutorial for screen.

What would you need a workaround for? What is the actual problem you face?
I use the scrollback buffer, and the include / begin statement for filtering commands.
If the scrollback buffer in your built-in terminal is not enough, you may use screen or tmux; but that's not specific to Instant.

Thank you.
Anyone out there with tips on workarounds? I'm mostly on Mac and Linux boxes...

For HPE Aruba Networking Instant?
There is no paging feature; full output will be sent and you could use the buffer in your terminal to scroll back.
