character strings
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System
Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
Comments
When you are writing a test or configuration script you may add comments by using the “#”
character to flag the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word
anywhere on the command line, and all input following this character will be ignored. Any
command line that begins with the character “#” is recognized as a comment line and is ignored by
the parser.
For example:
#Script file for displaying the ip interface
#Display information about interfaces
show ip interface ext.1 #Displays information about the first external interface
#Display information about the next interface
show ip interface ext.2
#End of the script file
