How to Configure the Pagination Controls in Magento 2

The Pagination Controls is the format from Magento 2 for the product listing. You can set the number of links that appear in the control, and configure the Next and Previous links. To appear the pagination link, it is required when the number of products that need to be shown is greater than the permitted amount in the product list settings.
