Luis Eduardo,

Verify which terminal type you are using:

lab@asterix> show cli
CLI complete-on-space set to on
CLI idle-timeout disabled
CLI restart-on-upgrade set to on
CLI screen-length set to 51
CLI screen-width set to 140
CLI terminal is 'xterm' <========== !!
CLI is operating in enhanced mode
CLI working directory is '/var/home/lab'

And try to change it to a terminal type that match your
'telnet/terminal emulator'...

lab@asterix> set cli terminal ?
Possible completions:
ansi ANSI-compatible terminal
small-xterm Small (24 line) xterm window
vt100 VT100-compatible terminal
xterm Large (65 line) xterm window

If you want to set it up permanently for your console/auxiliary ports
you can use:

system {
ports {
console type <type>;
auxiliary type <type>;
}
:

You cannot set it for telnet/ssh, as they both send the terminal
type. In that case, depending on where you are sited (unix/windows),
there are diferent methods to preset the terminal type.

There's certainly code in the CLI to support arrow keys. Can
you give me some specifics about your desktop environment
(os, terminal emulator, etc) and the output of 'show cli'?
Probably best to do this via support@juniper.net.

Thanks,
Phil
