If you're using X11, this is fairly straight forward. Just search for using multiple windows with xterm.<br />
<br />
You may have to setup some custom key bindings to move between windows.<br />

Some xterms (like OSX) come bound with a <b>+</b> icon in far right corner. Just click on the <b>+</b> icon to start a new shell in another tab.

Maybe I should have been clearer. In this case i trying to SSH to the CentOS. In that SSH session is where I'm trying to approximate having multiple tabs as I do say in a Windows GUI based SSH client like Secure CRT. So I'm thinking perhaps there some key combination that would allow this? I swear I saw some co-worker scroll through multiple SSH sessions withing a single session on bastion host. But it's been a while.

From CentOS can you shift between multiple outbound ssh sessions?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.
